THE GOLDEN RULE: Animal Assisted
Activities in Educational Environments
Local School Psychologist, Amy Bell and
Active Re-Entry Director Nancy Bentley have co-written a book entitled "The
Golden Rule" based around 'Lessons and Ideas On Utilizing Animal Assisted
Activities with Dogs In Schools and Classroom Settings.'
The purpose of this book is to provide
a resource for professional who are working with children in educational
settings. Both Amy and Nancy, having spent an inordinant amount of time
researching curriculum and strategies in using animals in education, discovered
that there was very little to be found that was specific to that type of
setting.
The hope in putting the book together
is to provide a curriculum on a variety of subjects, both social and academic,
that can be used as a starting place in implementing Animal Assisted Activities
(AAA) and Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) in school settings. These books
are available for sale for $24.95 (includes shipping and handling... or
$20 if you pick up your copy at Active Re-Entry.

| Do
you have your PAWS 2012 Calendar? Is your fridge door bare? |
 |
Keep track of the important dates in
your life and support a great cause at the same time. The colorful 2012
PAWS Calendar is packed with great photographs of the PAWS animals doing
what they do best, sharing their love with and giving support to children
and seniors.
Proceeds from the sale of the PAWS Calendar
go to support this outstanding program that has volunteers throughout Carbon
and Emery Counties. PAWS is not a line item of some government ledger...
proceeds from this calendar go to such things as Delta Society memberships,
therapy animal identification and training.
This dedicated four legged support team
and their equally dedicated humans share their love at places like the Price
City Library, local schools and regional care centers. They give joy and
comfort to all they come in contact with and they might as well give joy
and comfort to you every day of the year.
Calendars can be purchased for $15 at
the Active Re-Entry office or sent through the mail by calling (435) 637-4950.
Do your part and support this worthy cause in 2012. |
