Character Education and
Social Skills
All of our nationally recognized multimedia character education kits are research-
based. Scientific classroom studies by The Teel Institute document that MarshMedia
programs maximize the return on your investment in character education. And now,
you can measure the results in your own classrooms with the Evaluation Guide that is
included in every Kit Purchase or may be purchased separately.
Here are a few key findings:
There was a significant overall gain in student knowledge from pre-testing to
post-testing of 6.0% (p<.05)
The highest knowledge gain recorded among classrooms was +12.0%
Pre-test scores indicated that the ideas presented were either new or presented in a
new way.
The messages reach a diverse group of students, including urban students and
those with learning disabilities.
The most remarkable finding the increase in scores among the class with
learning disabilities was the third-highest gain from pre-test to post-test among
all classes tested.

Like all children, students with developmental disabilities grow into adolescence
with physically maturing bodies and a host of emerging social and emotional
feelings and needs. Before these changes begin and throughout adolescence, it
is important that educators, parents and care givers provide factual information
in a positive and constructive way that is both clear and developmentally
appropriate. Caring adults will nd our programs useful in helping students
acquire necessary skills for responsible adult living.

WHAT EDUCATORS ARE SAYING ABOUT MARSH PROGRAMS!
I would like to thank you for giving us
the opportunity to preview your materials.
These videos are superb and are great
resources for middle school and high
school.
- Cheryl Lopez,
Adult Transition Academy,
Ontario (CA)
This is exactly what the eld needs! I
thought the Puberty Education for
Students with Special Needs (series) was
right on target. I shared it with my cadre
of Human Sexuality Trainers and each felt
that you approached the material in an
excellent manner and the series would
be very useful for teachers/school nurses/
parents and especially for the students.
- Dr. Darrel Lang,
Health and Physical Education,
Kansas Department of Education
A Girl's Guide to Growing Up is a won-
derful curriculum for teaching girls going
through puberty or about to go through
puberty about the changes in their bodies
and the things they need to know about
maintaining their bodies. The Teacher's
Guide contains a lot of extras, such as
reproducible worksheets that enhance the
student book and DVD. Also included are
activities and checklists that help the girls
remember the material being presented.
It is all very tastefully presented, and the
pictures and graphics are very nice.
- Christine Hindle,
The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
YOU ARE NOT ALONE offers reassur-
ance and practical advice to students with
learning disabilities. Bullet point lists give
clear advice about understanding social
cues, developing friendship-making skills,
avoiding bullying, gaining self-condence,
and accepting responsibility.
- Linda Whitehurst,
Booklist
I was very impressed with the social and
leadership skills covered and the accuracy
of how challenges occur in school for
students with developmental delays and all
students. I liked the pause feature and it
helped me go over specic examples with
students I was working with in counseling.

Whisk your students to the Emerald Isle for a lesson in creative thinking.
Solving problems
Molly is no magician, but this jolly porkers great ideas for solving problems work like magic! British-born
author Penelope Paine takes us to the West of Ireland for this warm story of the OMalley family, whose
plan to supplement their farm income with a seaside tea garden seems destined to failure. Young
students will learn from Mollys example that adversity may sometimes be overcome with a little creative
thinking.
The Mollys Magic teaching guide will suggest days of meaningful and fun classroom activities from
computing with Irish currency, to making soda bread and homemade Irish music.

Mollys Magic will help you
Investigate problem-solving strategies
Encourage creative thinking
The seven step approach to problem solving will be particularly useful to teachers, guidance counselors,
and social workers. School Library Journal
CLARISSA
Mooo...ve over for Clarissa and help children discover that they are special in
their own special ways.
Recognizing self-worth
Clarissa is just a plain brown cow to herself and almost everybody else on the Larson farm. The story of
how Clarissa rescues a troupe of prize animals and proves her own worth to herself and those around her
is a blue-ribbon winner for every youngster who learns it. And Itoko Maenos stunning watercolor
depictions of lush Wisconsin dairyland, a magical country fair, and a winning cast of two-and four-legged
characters will enchant children.
The Clarissa teaching guide sparks dozens of activities. Invite your students to an international
cheese-tasting party, join them in writing advertising slogans featuring animal spokespersons like
Clarissa, and show them how to make clever cow puppets that can be used in role-playing .
Clarissa will help you
Promote the recognition, development, and use of students special abilities
Introduce information about dairy farms, dairy cattle, and dairy products
[An] outstanding production . . .Teachers will use the follow-up activities to develop research skills and to
reinforce curriculum areas. School Library Journal

JOMO AND MATA
Promote understanding and respect among brothers and sisters.
Sibling rivalry
Jomo is four years younger than Mata. Little brother cant hope to match Mata at digging into the dry
earth with his feet and tusks to find underground water. Jomo might just as well rest in his brothers
shadow and play a tune on his trunk. But when the riverbed dries up, thirsty Jomo learns that digging a
well is sometimes more important than besting his brother.
The Jomo and Mata teaching guide activities include assembling a Swahili picture dictionary, classifying
animals of the African savannah, creating warrior shields in the Masai tradition, and many other carefully
designed projects.
Jomo and Mata will help you
Investigate the important issue of sibling rivalry
Promote an awareness of the uniqueness of each student

Highly recommended for classroom use, Grades K-4. Small Press Magazine
FOLLOWING ISABELLA
A herd of Spanish sheep is badly in need of guidance.
Becoming a leader
Everyone knows that sheep are followers. They are perfectly content to trail along behind whomever
happens to be a few steps ahead. One day Isabella begins to wonder if there isnt another way. Must we
always be wandering about willy-nilly, nobody knowing where we are going? But recognizing the need for
a leader and accepting the responsibility of being one are two different things. It will require a bolt of
lightning literally to transform the reluctant Isabella into the leader she must be.
The Following Isabella teaching guide will show you how to promote leadership in the classroom, and
cross-curriculum activities will have your students observing the phases of a developing thunderstorm and
exploring the regions of Spain.
Following Isabella will help you
Consider leadership as a service to ones community
Investigate different kinds of leadership
A story about leadership, confidence, initiative and cooperation. Particularly useful for
studies in social skills and character education. [Isabella] will be appreciated by general viewers as well.

THANK YOU, MEILING
Visit a Chinese village for lessons in common courtesy.
Courtesy Thinking of others
Meiling is an impatient, ill-mannered young duck who can never seem to remember her mothers advice:
stop and think of others. Then one day Meiling follows the boy Song Hai to market and learns a thing or
two about good manners waiting her turn, saying please and thank you, helping others, and sharing.
She also learns about the upcoming Moon Festival as she follows Song Hai through the market, where
eager shoppers buy paper lanterns and fat mooncakes in preparation for the mid-autumn celebration.
The Thank You, Meiling teaching guide will show you how to put common courtesy into practice in your
classroom, and cross-curriculum activities will have your students observing the phases of the moon and
computing with Chinese numerals.
Thank You, Meiling will help you
Promote courtesy in students daily lives
Introduce students to Chinese culture
An outstanding multicultural resource. NC Department of Public Instruction
