With the current political climate, frequency of school shootings, and
rising concern for students' mental health, schools are desperate for
ideas on how to teach students to be kind. In this book, educators can
find guidance on how different education professionals have implemented
The Secret Kindness Agents Project, having tweaked it for their unique
contexts, from preschool through university levels. Administrators and
other school professionals will also find research outlining how The
Secret Kindness Agents project impacted twenty-three edeucators, their
students, and their contexts, as well as research that underscores the
need for kindness education in general. The Secret Kindness Agents
project has been implemented in over 500 schools around the world; from
preschool through university level; in public, private, and homeschool
settings; and in rural, urban, and suburban settings. It is all over the
United States, three provinces in Canada, in Cameroon, Kenya, Australia,
Fiji, and the Philippines. The project has been highlighted by Teaching
Tolerance Magazine, the Hallmark Channel, and Lady Gaga's Born This Way
Foundation and is the focus of the author's TEDX Talk and her first
book, The Secret Kindness Agents: How Small Acts of Kindness Really Can
Change the World.
