Foreign rights guide

2020 I 2021

“ Fabio Di Pietro Editorial Director

Dear friends, it is surprising how the normality we were used to can end in an instant. The pandemic caused by the Covid-19 virus reminded us of this. Fragility - any fragility - is closer than we imagine. For 36 years, fragility has been Erickson’s mission. Fragility in children, elderly, individuals with disabilities or special learning needs, the fragility of all of us struggling with tasks and difficult moments. Every day we strive to bring the best of international research into the hands of professionals and families. We want our products to be a concrete help for people, improving the quality of their life, respecting their uniqueness and their specific riches and difficulties with one goal in mind: to really encourage the spread of a culture of inclusion. This year our Foreign Rights Guide is presented in a more streamlined edition than in the past and collects an overview of our products ranging from education to psychology, from social work to healthcare, from fiction to nonfiction for children. It proposes the “pillars” of Erickson’s publications and the latest important releases. To learn more about our complete selection of titles, we invite you to consult our website at www.erickson. international or to contact our foreign rights department whose details are available at the end of this catalogue. In the following pages we hope you will find many stimuli and materials which are of interest to you. We anticipate that you will find a section dedicated to workbooks: proposals that during the lockdown period were particularly useful and appreciated and that we think can be further enhanced. Even the Briefcases, this year, find space with an ad hoc section - separate from educational games - precisely because of their specific use, which is aimed above all at teachers and the world of school. Even during the period of uncertainty, Erickson continues to offer ideas and materials with the conviction that together we can find certainty and build a future with renewed faith. Happy reading!

Tracko On the trail of the Mayan treasure

TRACKO ISBN 978-88-590-1967-1

€ 18,90**

Tracko is an adventure game that trains memory and visuo-spatial skills. Players have a few seconds to observe the map of an ancient Mayan temple and remember the way in and out of the temple while collecting as many treasures as possible. Thanks to the practical acetate sheets on which each player will have to trace their own path, it will be easy to check on the initial map who managed to collect more coins without ever falling into ancient traps!

Author of many internationally recognized children’s games, his ideas have been published by the main German publishing houses.

PHASE 2: Each player places an acetate sheet over his/her own copy of the temple map, and, with an erasable marker, traces the pathway he/she memorized.

PHASE 3: To verify the correctness of the route and count the treasures collected, each player, in turn, places their acetate sheet on the treasure map. It will be easy to understand who is the winner of the challenge!

Look carefully and quickly move all the colours

Hurry! Decorate the cake and grab all the candles

In this art gallery somebody has had fun changing all the monsters’ portraits. Will you be careful and quick enough to be able to turn your painting back into the original? You can’t use paints or felt pens though, just coloured little balls that slide all over the place and that you’ll have to put in the right place and in the right order. The quickest painter wins!

Will you become the best cake-maker of them all? But to do this you can’t leave the cake without decorations and you can’t let all the cherries escape. Remember, however, that it’s not easy being a cake-maker: throw the dice, look at what you have to do and then try to position the cherries. Easy? Maybe with the rubber bands binding your fingers you won’t feel quite so agile.

• is an approach to learning that is based on the consideration of the great potential of children since their birth • favours their natural and spontaneous way of placing themselves in front of knowledge, starting from tools that facilitate an intuitive, autonomous, direct understanding • offers teachers complete and rich operational materials, ready to use in the classroom throughout the year, offering them a simple and effective teaching approach

The Line of 20 English language edition The Line of 20 is the alternative to coloured rods in primary school maths teaching. The method valorizes the intuitive skills of children who, according to recent research, are all born with an innate capacity for calculus. Unlike coloured rods, which require lengthy instructions, The Line of 20 is a fun and easy method that can be used immediately. It allows arithmetic operations within the number twenty and shows that these arithmetic operations are first of all simple actions such as adding and taking away. Students use the tool as an extension of their own hands and, as mental calculus in human beings has evolved through the use of hands, no other explanation is required.

The new version of The Line of 100, the Analogical Method for teaching mathematics in the second grade of primary school, has finally arrived. The second edition of the book offers numerous colour illustrations and new characters from Pitti’s world to guide the students. The Line of 100 addresses mental and written calculation, word problems and times tables in a stimulating and engaging way, thus reducing the effort involved in learning mathematics. The book is a complete workbook for second grade, including mental and written calculations with the 4 operations and word problems. Much attention is given to instrumental learning, such as the multiplication tables. The Line of 100 tool has also been updated: now it is easier to use, lighter, and enriched with colour sheets for practicing mathematics! It is an «analog calculator» comparable to a cabinet with ten shelves. By sliding the rods sideways, the student can immediately perform addition and subtraction and understand the meaning of multiplication and division. In addition to The Line of 100 card insert, 7 more inserts are provided for practicing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by encouraging the memorisation of some numerical facts to speed up written calculations.

By building solids and polygons that can be touched, rotated and observed, children approach geometry in a fun and natural way. Solids on the Fly With Straws is a proposal that is based on the principles of the Analogical Method and encourages implicit learning: children learn the first geometric concepts by building solids and polygons with nothing but some straws and their hands. At the end of each exercise, the book proposes numerous pattern drawings to be completed, allowing those who have finished the task to occupy their free time in peace while those who have yet to finish not to feel under pressure.

From the authors of Training Attention in Pre-School Age, comes a cheerful and colourful notebook for 3-year-old children, to be given to them so that they can experience exercise as a real game. Watch Out at the Zoo! presents simple and motivating activities to train attention and memory: find the same shape, look for the couple, remember the way (memorize a path after observing it). The exercises are not introduced by instructions, but by a compiled example. In this way, children can be completely autonomous. To keep motivation high, at the end of each section the children will find 2 puzzles to cut out and put together in order to get a big poster. PAGES: 128 ISBN 978-88-590-2104-9

The title 7 Days with Riccio comes from the story: in a week’s time, children have to help Riccio cross the woods to reach his friend bear’s house. In fact, 7 is the ideal number of days to allow a child to learn, consolidate and store new concepts and skills. Each of the 7 episodes that make up the story focus on certain skills, thus allowing the child to develop important school prerequisites such as verbal comprehension and production, concentration, dexterity, memory and planning. The story book, where the child sticks on and moves the cut-out figures, creates a captivating and fun narrative setting. An accompanying workbook provides guidance to the parent and child to build the episodes of the story.

The Kamishibai of Marilú and the Five Senses is a cardboard puppet theatre – which is inspired by the traditional Japanese Kamishibai (from Japanese: kami: paper; shibai: theatre) – through which it is possible to tell children stories, accompanying reading with suggestive visual images. In this case, the story of Marilù and the 5 senses aims to involve the small spectators and make them experience an emotionally significant multi-sensory experience. The kamishibai, in addition to being a container of author’s stories and artist illustrations, can also be used independently by children, in the construction and narration of new stories or fables.

Thumbnail of the image that the viewers see

Narrative text First, the theatre is placed on the table and the boards are inserted in order of appearance, from 1 to 14.

The Kamishibai is particularly useful for: • developing a sense of community; • developing language and expressive skills; • developing skills of interaction through dialogues.

Illustrated narrative boards

QR-code for sound effects and music

The narration proceeds by scrolling the sheets from first to last: on the front the illustrations capture the attention of the children, on the back the adult reads the story.

On the back of each board, next to the text, there is a thumbnail of the image that the viewers see and a QRcode for accessing sound effects and music.

THE LAND OF ORIGAMI Astronomy, the cosmos and other stories

A SPACESHIP FULL OF... DRAWINGS, GAMES, AND PRE-WRITING ACTIVITIES

Through the creation of origami, this notebook stimulates mathematical, visual-spatial, geometric, creativity, problem solving skills and reasoning. The proposed activities, of increasing and gradual difficulty, support the development of school prerequisites for children aged 4 to 6 years, activating their interest in the STEM subjects. Caterina and Pierpaolo will transmit their love of origami and science to the children, who will be guided in the creation of the first folds through which they will manipulate geometric elements such as vertices, sides and points, and make simple origami (blitz, kite and triangle shapes).

The theme of the drawings, a great scholastic tradition, is here connected to exercises that support the development of scholastic prerequisites, such as pre-writing, logic and memory. A comic strip story set in space acts as a thread for the many activities of increasing difficulty that, once completed, will allow children to solve the mission! The notebook keeps fast working children occupied in complete autonomy, allowing the teacher to devote his/her remaining time to helping the students most in need. SOLD TO

A book dedicated to children ages 6 to 8, to bring them closer to the game of chess by way of fun activities in the areas of logic, mathematics, and language. CHESS AT SCHOOL Integrating the game of chess with teaching would allow children to reap not only cognitive benefits, but also social and ethical ones, including the areas of affection and emotion. Particularly for the 6-8 age group, the game of chess represents an opportunity for children to actively learn and enhance cognitive, memory, social, logical and motor skills. In fact, the game of chess allows to work on the refinement of skills such as intuition, managerial ability, acceptance of one’s limits, respect for rules, respect for others, and patience, providing children with precious opportunities to get to know each other better and learn to manage their emotions in a functional way in the school environment.

Astuccio di Storia

Il nome australopiteco significa scimmia del sud. Esistevano molte specie diverse, alcune più gracili, altre più robuste. In entrambi i maschi erano più alti e più pesanti delle femmine: i più corpulenti misuravano 150 cm e pesavano 50 kg. Erano bipedi, avevano un cranio piccolo, un muso con la mandibola spostata in avanti e grandi denti. Alcune specie avevano sul cranio una cresta ossea, per sostenere i potenti muscoli della masticazione. Alcuni si cibavano di vegetali, altri integravano la loro alimentazione con carcasse di animali.

Sono state ritrovate molte specie di australopiteco, in varie zone dell’Africa centrale, orientale e meridionale. Gli australopiteci, infatti, si sono ben adattati sia in ambienti semi-aridi come le savane, sia in ambienti umidi come le foreste. I più conosciuti sono Lucy e Little Foot, i cui scheletri sono stati ritrovati in Etiopia e in Sudafrica. QUANDO

I resti più antichi di australopiteco risalgono a 4 milioni di anni fa. Gli australopiteci si sono estinti circa 1 milione di anni fa, a causa dei cambiamenti climatici e, forse, perché erano entrati in competizione con la specie homo.

L’EVOLUZIONE DELL’UOMO

DOVE

L’ardipiteco è considerato il più antico antenato dell’uomo. Il suo nome è composto da due parole: ardi che significa «terra» e piteco che significa «scimmia». Era una scimmia capace di stare in piedi sul terreno, ma che viveva ancora sugli alberi. Infatti, aveva piedi prensili, braccia molto lunghe e mani grandi in grado di afferrare i rami per arrampicarsi. Sul terreno camminava in posizione eretta con un’andatura ondeggiante, senza appoggiare le nocche delle mani come fanno gorilla e scimpanzé. Era onnivoro e si spostava a terra in cerca di cibo.

Nel 1992 è stato scoperto in Etiopia lo scheletro fossile di una femmina: era alta circa 120 cm e pesava 50 kg. Il suo cranio era piccolo (350 cm3). Venne chiamata Ardi. Nel 2001, sempre in Etiopia, vennero scoperti i resti di un ardipiteco molto più antico.

(va bene una violetta o una piantina di basilico, che puoi acquistare al supermercato). Mettila in un armadio o in un altro luogo dove sia assente la luce, ma ricordati di bagnarla un po’ ogni giorno. Che cosa succede dopo circa una settimana?

ESISTONO TANTISSIMI TIPI DI PIANTE, MOLTO DIVERSE FRA LORO: CHE COSA HANNO IN COMUNE TUTTE LE PIANTE? QUALI CARATTERISTICHE CI PERMETTONO DI DECIDERE SE UN ORGANISMO È UNA PIANTA OPPURE NON LO È?

2. Fai un altro esperimento simile:

lascia una qualsiasi piantina in vaso alla luce, ma non bagnarla per qualche giorno. Che cosa succede dopo circa una settimana?

QUESTE PIANTE SEMBRANO… MORTE DI FAME! Eﬀettivamente è proprio così! Le piante usano la luce, l’aria e l’acqua per mangiare. Le piante infatti sono capaci di produrre il nutrimento all’interno del proprio corpo: come se tu producessi la pasta che ti serve per avere energia direttamente dentro la tua pancia. La cosa più stupefacente è che le piante sono capaci di trasformare l’aria e l’acqua in zucchero! MA COME FANNO? Semplice! Dall’aria e dall’acqua prendono gli ingredienti necessari e li combinano assieme: dall’aria recuperano una MOLECOLA di biossido di carbonio o anidride carbonica (composta da due tipi di atomo: il carbonio C e l’ossigeno O), che impastano assieme alla molecola dell’acqua (composta da idrogeno H e ossigeno O). Il risultato di questa combinazione è lo zucchero, che infatti è composto da carbonio C, idrogeno H e ossigeno O. Nel produrre lo zucchero, però, le piante avanzano sempre un po’ di ossigeno, che

Ora provo a rispondere… Tutte le piante hanno le radici, il fusto e le foglie.

Tutte le piante hanno bisogno di aria, acqua e luce per sopravvivere.

Ecco i MODELLI per costruire le molecole di partenza.

6 molecole di biossido di carbonio

! OsservO

Prova anche tu a preparare lo zucchero usando acqua e biossido di carbonio. Per prima cosa, costruisci gli ingredienti di cui hai bisogno, vale a dire 6 molecole di biossido di carbonio e 6 molecole di acqua.

A È sbagliata perché...

PROCEDIMENTO + Smonta tutte le molecole di biossido di carbonio, separando per bene gli atomi di carbonio e di ossigeno. + Smonta anche tutte le molecole di acqua, separando l’idrogeno e l’ossigeno. + Ora puoi montare lo zucchero, seguendo lo schema.

moltissime piante hanno radici, fusto e foglie ma esistono alcune piante speciali che invece non le hanno: per esempio l’erba non ha il fusto, mentre i cactus non hanno vere e proprie foglie.

6 molecole di acqua 1 |

Attenzione! L’ossigeno avanzato non può restare «sfuso»: la regola è che tutte le zampette dei nostri elementi devono essere abbinate. Per poterli scartare, devi montare insieme due ossigeni.

CHE COS’È

UNA PIANTA?

LE PIANTE

Una MOLECOLA è la più piccola parte di una sostanza che ha le caratteristiche di quella sostanza. Le molecole sono costituite da ATOMI, piccolissime particelle che si possono combinare insieme. Per capire meglio, puoi immaginare che gli atomi siano come le lettere e le molecole siano come le parole. Mettendo insieme tantissime molecole si ottiene la sostanza come la vediamo a occhio nudo: per esempio in una goccia d’acqua ci sono miliardi e miliardi di molecole di acqua.

FORSE NON SAPEVI CHE…

E la luce a che cosa serve? La luce del Sole è importantissima: immagina di mettere in un frullatore gli ingredienti per fare un frullato, cioè il latte e i pezzi di frutta. Il frullato non verrà mai se non attacchi il frullatore a una presa e poi lo accendi! La luce del Sole ha proprio questa funzione: dà al frullatore L’ENERGIA necessaria per far avvenire la fotosintesi.

Tutti respiriamo grazie alle piante. Gli animali, compreso l’uomo, hanno bisogno dell’ossigeno per respirare: la nostra vita è possibile grazie alla presenza della fotosintesi, che crea l’ossigeno che respiriamo ogni giorno. Per questo le piante sono molto importanti e bisogna proteggere le grandi foreste, che infatti vengono spesso chiamate i POLMONI DELLA TERRA.

La luce dà energia? Certo! Puoi verificarlo facilmente persino sulla tua pelle: quando stai al Sole, ti scaldi! Non a caso, i PANNELLI SOLARI vengono usati per produrre energia.

La fotosintesi SI VEDE DALLO SPAZIO! Nel 2017 una sonda spaziale della NASA che si chiama OSIRIS-REX ha puntato i suoi potenti sensori verso la Terra e ha potuto «vedere», o come direbbero gli scienziati «registrare», l’assorbimento della luce e l’emissione di ossigeno, i due sintomi della fotosintesi. Adesso possiamo osservare lo spazio alla ricerca di nuovi mondi in cui succeda la stessa cosa!

Infatti la caratteristica che tutte le piante hanno in comune è proprio la capacità di usare questi elementi per produrre il proprio nutrimento attraverso la fotosintesi clorofilliana.

moltissime piante crescono nel terreno e hanno le radici, ma esistono alcune piante che si comportano in modo diverso: per esempio alcune orchidee crescono sul tronco degli alberi, mentre la Tillandsia non ha vere e proprie radici.

PREPARAZIONE

Preparare i materiali

Come prima cosa è necessario dare ai materiali una misura adeguata agli occhiali che i bambini useranno. Le copertine trasparenti per i libri e i cartoncini andranno ritagliati in poligoni, preferibilmente quadrati e rettangoli, della dimensione desiderata. • Definire i poligoni. Per definire i poligoni basterà utilizzare una riga e tracciare, con una matita sul cartoncino o con un pennarello nero sottile sulle copertine trasparenti, i lati che definiscono le forme desiderate da ritagliare.

A card game, for children aged 8 to 11, that stimulates their creativity and helps them hone their ability to tell stories. To play, the cards attached to the book are used, each one represents a sentence, which corresponds to a specific part of the narration. The game is to connect several cards together, like dominoes, to build a unique and original story. The children will be able to independently check the consistency of the connections created by checking that the colour next to the cards matches. The minimum and indispensable content of a story is 5 elements (5 tiles): beginning, protagonists, conflict, resolution, ending.

Consideriamo con molta attenzione, riga per riga, la testimonianza di Ovidio: ci sono dei passaggi utili per rispondere alle due domande precedenti? Notiamo ad esempio che Dedalo fa ben cinque raccomandazioni a Icaro: 1. non volare troppo in basso perché le onde inzupperebbero le ali; 2. non volare troppo in alto perché il calore del Sole potrebbe sciogliere la cera che tiene insieme le ali;

3. tieni la via di mezzo tra gli estremi (la raccomandazione è una conseguenza delle prime due); 4. non incantarti a guardare le costellazioni, che volando di notte appariranno vicine, splendenti e belle come non mai; 5. seguimi durante il volo.

Queste raccomandazioni sono troppe? Sono troppo poche? Sono ben comprensibili? 20

caro ha superato un limite, una «linea del troppo», quella che chiamano una soglia critica. In natura se ne trovano ovunque, gli scienziati di queste soglie.

Scienze e matematica C’è la corda che troppo tesa si spezza e c’è la goccia di troppo che fa traboccare il vaso. La soglia critica è quella che determina i passaggi di stato nella materia: l’acqua passa dallo stato solido a quello liquido e poi a quello gassoso, attraversando soglie critiche legate alla sua temperatura e alla pressione atmosferica. Quando costruisci un castello di carte o una torre con cubetti di legno, l’equilibrio a un certo punto diventa instabile: ci si avvicina a una soglia critica dell’equilibrio e si ha l’impressione che da un momento all’altro, superata quella soglia, tutto possa cadere. Puoi fare degli esperimenti oppure studiare in questa prospettiva anche altri eventi naturali, come frane, valanghe e terremoti. Poi c’è il carico di rottura: se sali su un ascensore, troverai scritto qual è il limite della portata (ad esempio, non possono salire più di otto persone, oppure è indicato un peso massimo da non superare). Il senso del limite è utilissimo perfino in cucina: quando si aggiunge troppo di un ingrediente (sale, latte, uova) in una ricetta, l’esito può essere molto diverso da quel che si voleva.

Suggestions for applying the reflections to daily life.

Salute e cura di sé

Uno dei problemi con le soglie critiche è che può capitare di avvicinarsi alla «linea del troppo» senza accorgersene. Su questo fatto c’è da riflettere a lungo e un paio di esempi sarà d’aiuto. Se una persona non si lava regolarmente i denti o se li lava male, non si accorge subito del fatto che nella sua bocca stanno avvenendo trasformazioni destinate a provocare dolore. All’inizio, per molto tempo, non si sente niente. Poi un brutto giorno, all’improvviso, capitare di sentire dolore. può È il segno che una soglia critica è stata superata: ad esempio, potrebbe essersi sviluppata la carie, avanzando a tal punto da fare male. A questo punto, col senno di poi, si dice: «Se mi fossi lavato meglio i denti!». Ma è troppo tardi. Un altro esempio riguarda il fumo. Sui pacchetti di sigarette c’è scrit-

How is the universe in which we live made? Is there something from which all things originate? Starting from questions like these, Philosophical Riddles encourages children from 8 to 10 years to reflect on different themes related to natural phenomena, human beings, language, and reasoning. The book proposes 15 problems inspired by the history of philosophy grouped into four main sections: • Philosophy of nature • Philosophy of language • Philosophy of humans • Changing perspectives Children will have the chance to get involved in child-sized big challenges that will lead them to practice hypothetical-deductive thinking and enhance the key skills that are transferable to different school subjects. Completing the experience is the game section Building Utopia – The Island of Utopia: children can plan and create a map of their ideal island, collaborating and comparing ideas with their companions.

MINDFULNESS PROGRAM «THE FLOWER INSIDE» Teaching children to manage stress and be happier

COOPERATIVE LEARNING IN PRACTICE Practical suggestions for group activities in class

This book is intended to be a structured guide for the application of a programme for teaching mindfulness meditation aimed at children aged 6 to 12 years. Based on the most important international experiences in the field and the authors’ personal clinical experience, this programme can be proposed as a training project at school or as an independent extra-scholastic activity. Designed for teachers, educators, and psychotherapists, the volume is divided into two parts: the reasons why teaching mindfulness in the developmental age is extremely important; indications on how to conduct an 8-week mindfulness course with children.

Cooperative learning is a teaching/learning method based on group activities and structured according to precise principles, which has proven to be hugely successful both in promoting school learning and the development of civil society skills, and in stimulating different types of intelligence and different learning styles. It therefore represents a highly appropriate solution to the necessity to encourage integral personal development and to create an inclusive environment. In fact, each member of the group, with his or her unique and special characteristics, can contribute to the learning of all and that everyone can become a resource for the others.

FIRST MAPS Didactic laboratory for building mind maps and diagrams

MAPS WORKSHOP Teaching activities with diagrams, mind maps and concept maps

A rich workshop based programme that aims to develop logical visual strategies, train certain significant mental operations and enable pupils to independently build their first mind maps.

OPEN TEACHING AND INCLUSION Principles, methodologies and tools for primary and secondary school teachers

PAGES: 260

ISBN 978-88-590-1226-9

€ 18,50

Open teaching — teaching which is open to the initiatives and choices of pupils, which entrusts the teacher with the role of observer and guide — represents an important alternative and innovation. The book introduces the theoretical references and methodological principles of open teaching and sets out activities and practical strategies for applying it from an inclusive perspective in primary and secondary schools.

This book contains five unmissable lessons on the role of emotions in learning, on the error that becomes a resource, on the motivation that looks to the future, on how to make children feel good at school, on how to help them extricate themselves from the forest of numbers. Five lessons that speak to teachers and parents with direct language, imbued with energy and passion, but which have their deepest roots in a solid and scientifically rigorous field.

AT SCHOOL WITH NO RUCKSACK The global curriculum method for a school community

The flipped classroom reverses the traditional method of learning, abolishing frontal lessons, transferring research and study time to the home and discussion and elaboration time to the classroom. In this book, numerous practical examples explain how to build a self-evaluation checklist, create useful homework and web quests, plan multi-level personalized lessons, carry out cooperative activities.

Il 3% della popolazione è rappresentato da persone con potenzialità intellettive fuori della norma, troppo spesso non riconosciute già da piccole. A scuola il loro «talento» diventa quasi sempre un problema: le attitudini straordinarie sono inscatolate nel sistema-classe che, il più delle volte, interpreta in maniera egualitaria le pari opportunità, anziché adeguare l’offerta didattica a ciascuno. Gli allievi ad alto potenziale intellettivo si annoiano alle ripetizioni, si demotivano davanti a prove per loro troppo facili. Spesso si agitano, disturbano, o si distraggono. Per queste reazioni si sospetta abbiano disturbi di apprendimento o di personalità. Così il percorso scolastico non li aiuta a sviluppare doti che sarebbero preziose per la società. Questo libro è una chiave d’accesso alla superdotazione intellettiva, per genitori, insegnanti, adulti/ex-bambini non valorizzati. Come riconoscere e non mortificare l’iperdotazione intellettiva, il pensiero intuitivo, il pensiero creativo, i doni artistici? Il testo contiene indicazioni per attività pratiche di approfondimento e di arricchimento, che permettano agli insegnanti di dare pari opportunità di formazione agli allievi ad alto potenziale intellettivo.

FLIPPED CLASSROOM Flipped classroom projects for lower secondary school

Federica Mormando Psichiatra e psicoterapeuta di formazione adleriana, ha fondato la prima scuola italiana dedicata al talento dei bambini, oltre a Eurotalent Italia (partecipando alla commissione Educazione e Cultura del Consiglio di Europa e alla Conferenza sui diritti dell’uomo di Oslo) e alla ONG Human Ingenium.

Flipped classroom is an innovative methodology which flips the «classic» timings of teaching by moving the preliminary study of contents to the home (relying mainly on digital resources) in order to focus energy and time at school on the construction, re-elaboration and consolidation of knowledge. This approach enables real customisation of teaching, encouraging the inclusion of all pupils, allowing competence goals to be met and the correct use of digital tools and the Internet to be taught. The books illustrate the principles the method is based on with practical suggestions and tips (e.g. how to make or choose an effective educational video, how to manage an online platform etc.) and it presents 9 flipped classroom projects for lower secondary school on Maths and Science, and on Italian, History and Geography.

Altissimo potenziale intellettivo

PAGES: 152

In this volume, the teacher can find numerous suggestions and hints – instructions, fact sheets, operational tools and checklists – to integrate authentic tasks within the flipped didactics, from primary school up to the end of secondary school. Through challenging questions – how to make videos and dubbing, prepare impossible interviews, use precision tools to make comparisons, find new links between music and chemistry – the students are stimulated to actively search for data, to resort to unconventional resources, putting in play the eight European competences for lifelong learning.

3% of the population is represented by people with intellectual potential outside the norm, and too often not recognized at an early age. Students with high intellectual potential are bored by repetition. They become demotivated in front of tests that are too easy for them. They often shake, disturb, or get distracted. These reactions create the suspicion of learning or personality disorders. Thus the educational programme does not help them develop skills that would be valuable to society. This book is a key to accessing intellectual giftedness, for parents, teachers, non-valued adults/former children. How can one recognize and not mortify high-intellects and their intuitive thinking, creative thinking, artistic gifts? The text contains indications for practical in-depth and enrichment activities, which allow teachers to give equal learning opportunities to students with high intellectual potential.

«A way to go along with the children, to offer them the world of knowledge» Maria Montessori

In a Montessori school, students move freely in the environment and manage their own space and time, without the adult choosing for them. Being in a scholastic reality that shows total confidence in the students’ possibilities enables children to learn with serenity, without the urgency of reaching every goal immediately, and without the anxiety of the time constraints and rhythms that the adult world imposes upon them. The atmosphere that reigns in a Montessori school is one of great calm and serenity. Everyone follows their own path of development and deepening of knowledge avoids both the leveling of the class and competitiveness among children. EW

MONTESSORI’S EDUCATIONAL ALBUM FOR TEACHERS Practical life The first volume of a series of Montessori albums, intended as workbooks, dedicated to teachers and educators of children from 3 to 6 years of age. This album, dedicated to practical life, is a very detailed handbook, which explains how to accompany the children with the acquisition of daily independence.

A practical guide to support teachers and educators in activating literacy processes for non-Italian-speaking immigrant children, teenagers and adults using the Montessori Method, in order to create an effective learning path for their linguistic and cultural difficulties. Battista Quinto Borghi

Il modello pedagogico montessoriano è stato, negli ultimi anni, quello che in assoluto ha ricevuto più seguito, diffusione e riconoscimenti, non solo in Italia ma in tutto il mondo, fino al punto di diventare un vero e proprio «Metodo» applicato in un numero crescente di scuole. Il pensiero della Montessori è però un pensiero complesso, e non è sempre facile orientarsi nel corpus delle sue numerosissime opere — così come nel labirinto delle centinaia di pubblicazioni su di lei. Dopo un lungo lavoro di studio filologico, analisi e selezione delle fonti, Battista Quinto Borghi, presidente della Fondazione Montessori Italia, colma una grande lacuna nella letteratura pedagogica, scrivendo il primo dizionario del lessico montessoriano. Diviso per voci, adatto a una consultazione approfondita e sequenziale, oppure estemporanea e puntuale, il libro spiega in poche ed essenziali parole i concetti fondanti del Metodo Montessori: non solo i principi teorici a cui si ispira (apprendimento, creatività, disciplina, gioco, libertà, linguaggio, scrittura, vita pratica…), ma anche gli strumenti e i materiali che utilizza (alfabetario, campanelli, incastri, tavola pitagorica, scatola delle stoffe e dei rumori…). Un libro scritto e pensato per educatori, genitori, pedagogisti, ma anche per chiunque sia interessato a conoscere da vicino il pensiero della più famosa pedagogista italiana.

Discover the maps, imagine the development of the territory, codify and decode signs and information, design an airport, have fun with contour lines, understand a volcano, learn to use map scales and legends .. these are some of the activities designed to help children to have a greater awareness of the characteristics of the landscape (natural and anthropized) in terms of environmental education and responsible citizenship, while stimulating cooperative learning and reasoning at the same time.

First Grade Programme for reception, inclusion and observation for the first months in the classroom The first briefcase dedicated to the reception of students in the first year of primary school, which contains everything necessary to meet the different needs of the students and teachers struggling with the beginning of a new experience. Thanks to the workshops and activities offered by the briefcase, the teacher gets to know the children, identifies and enhances their skills, detects difficulties and strengthens areas of weakness. Children, through the use of different characters and settings, will have to dramatise, rework and customise a story, working in a group to get to know each other and practice different skills.

The Briefcase for Starting Off... Right Interdisciplinary programmes for welcoming students and developing social skills In the first weeks of school it is important to take the time to re-consolidate relationships and the class atmosphere in order to then work with serenity while teaching the different skills required by the curriculum. Therefore, the time used for creating positive class dynamics, is time that is functional to learning. This briefcase contains everything necessary for starting off in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades and working on class dynamics, with the objective of using a workshop methodology to enhance the social dimensions of learning, developing social skills and working in teams on educational activities which stimulate active citizenship, responsibility and autonomy skills in the students.

Children’s behaviour in the classroom environment depends on many factors: from their temperament, to their motivation, to their ability to control their emotions, to how they are raised at home, to how the teacher speaks to them, to the behaviour of the other children in class. Based on the principles of the token economy, The Rewards Briefcase helps the teachers better structure their intervention in the classroom, thanks to the series of materials it contains. Here is what is inside: • The board is used to apply the token economy programme. On the board, the children’s names and the behaviour objectives to be reached are written;

TEACHING HISTORY TO STUDENTS WITH SLD

ifficoltà a comprendere i concetti temporali, a stimare la durata di un’azione e a collocare gli eventi nella corretta successione sono frequenti negli alunni con BES. Per evitare le conseguenze negative di un’insoddisfacente elaborazione temporale, ma anche per migliorare le capacità di rappresentazione e gestione del tempo in situazioni di sviluppo regolare, il volume propone un programma di potenziamento in due parti. La prima parte, organizzata in 9 «incontri», contiene semplici e divertenti attività su: • Il concetto di tempo • La stima del tempo: durate brevi, medie o lunghe? • La sequenzialità: prima, durante e dopo • Le unità di misura: che ora è? • I giorni della settimana • I mesi dell’anno e le stagioni • Il calendario e le date importanti • Organizzare la giornata • Organizzare la settimana. La seconda parte del libro presenta esercizi per favorire l’acquisizione delle competenze legate al tempo in base agli obiettivi specifici per la scuola primaria previsti dalle Indicazioni nazionali, nelle materie di italiano, storia, matematica, scienze, fisica, musica e educazione fisica. Nell’Appendice vengono forniti tre questionari a uso dei bambini, dei genitori e degli insegnanti per la valutazione delle competenze prima e dopo il programma, mentre dalle Risorse online si possono scaricare ulteriori materiali didattici.

The first of the operational volumes in the series. The book deals with the disciplinary teaching of history: an accessible, flexible, active, differentiated teaching, which is effective not only for students with SLD, but also for all others, from an inclusive perspective, to make school accessible to all.

Quick guide for teachers Teacher training aims to make teachers understand the cognitive function of children and young people with some type of disorder (developmental, behavioural, psychiatric), so that they can apply specific and therefore more effective teaching techniques, and develop a common language with clinicians who treat the child. In the style of a Teacher Training notebook, Adhd What to Do and What to Avoid presents targeted and ready-to-use instructions to successfully face 15 behaviour problems typical of Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder. The book is divided into 15 chapters grouped into three macro sections: hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention, or the typical problem behaviours of children with ADHD in the 6-11 age group.

1. An illustration represents a problem situation that may occur at school

2. A brief explanation of the reasons why a child with ADHD acts that way 3. Tips on what to do and what not to do when dealing with these behaviours

I3bambini ADHD fanno fatica a controllarsi e a controllare provocazione, né di maleducazione, né di disobbedienza, ma solo di un bisogno fisico. È un bisogno che questi bambini sentono in modo atipico rispetto agli altri e non riescono a inibirlo. Essere iperattivi significa fare molte cose, spesso troppe, contemporaneamente, ed essere appunto in «iper» attività. «Pretendere» che il bambino si autocontrolli durante le lezioni non ha molto senso, perché l’autocontrollo non è una capacità che ha innata: sarà dunque necessario allenarlo con pazienza e costanza ai ritmi del lavoro in classe. Questi bambini non stanno mai fermi. Non hanno «intuito sociale», ovvero non comprendono intuitivamente le regole sociali. Il fatto che tutti stiano seduti non è motivo sufficiente per stare seduti come gli altri: per loro sono strani proprio quelli con non si alzano di continuo! Stare seduti li annoia perché per loro è una cosa priva di senso:

I’LL DO IT! Stories and activities for developing personal autonomy

This book presents educational materials for children with Generalized Developmental Disorders and contains many activities that touch on more that one area of intervention: from learning the letters of the alphabet and numerical symbols to the development of the graphic-motor skills, and from the development of fine motor skills to imitation, from the ability to discriminate shapes and colours to the development of perceptual abilities. Depending on the skills and needs of the child, the educator can accompany each individual exercise with physical, verbal or visual aids.

The book considers its main objective to be the acquisition and enhancement of domestic and primary care skills through individualized educational programmes. Illustrated stories and visual aids are therefore the suggested educational strategies. Three short stories, accompanied by images illustrating specific social situations, introduce the themes developed in the book: personal autonomy in general, dental hygiene and domestic autonomy skills are the main focuses. Each story is followed by some activity proposals to reinforce and expand the contents treated and to consolidate the learning of the skills.

FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF BEHAVIOUR Principles, methods and techniques

PAGES: 340

ISBN 978-88-590-1344-0

€ 27,50

In everyday life and at work, parents, teachers and operators find themselves facing behavioural problems which are difficult to handle, children and adults who present a constellation and complexity of inadequate behaviours that fuel pessimistic experiences of frustration and resignation. Functional assessment plays a fundamental role in overcoming this impasse, as it investigates the causal processes underlying learning and the maintenance of a behaviour, identifying the function it assumes for the individual. Asking «why» allows us to put the environment back into its central role of triggering, consolidating but also modifying problem behaviours and to assume an effective and individualised attitude in assessment and intervention phases. The book illustrates the theoretical premises and applications of functional analysis, a tool which allows us to determine problem behaviours in practical terms, highlighting their structure, the variables involved and the reason behind their enactment. The book comes with a series of appendixes containing practical models for applying functional analysis.

This book fills an existing gap in Italian literature regarding autism: diagnosis and intervention proposals for autism spectrum disorders in adolescence and adulthood. Arising out of the contribution and collaboration of over fifty authors who have been working with these disorders for years, the book examines autism in adolescence and adulthood in its complexity, in order to tackle these difficult situations globally and in-depth, going beyond stereotypes and inaccurate diagnoses. The prospect of a real improvement in the individual’s quality of life is a key element in this book, and not only are the individual’s clinical problems taken into account but also their basic needs and daily requirements.

Ukraine, Spain, Russia

You have just left the neuropsychiatrist’s office. Everyone says he’s really good. You’re with Luigi, your second child. Your paediatrician suggested you come because Luigi is a «strange» child. He’s still not talking at the age of 3 and he spends all his time alone. Even at nursery school he doesn’t play with his classmates and tends to stay on his own, isolating himself. His teachers are worried. Now the doctor has confirmed your fears with his diagnosis: «He’s on the autism spectrum». So many parents have already been through this and they have felt what you are feeling now, mum and dad. Many of them are desperate and seeing no future prospects continue to wonder: «Why me?». Others have trouble understanding and look for information on the Internet or from one of their doctor friends. Not all of them are ready to accept something that seems too challenging of a situation for them and instead, embark on a sort of pilgrimage that will take them to hundreds of specialists, hoping in their hearts to find the one who will change that much-dreaded diagnosis. You mustn’t worry if this is happening to you too. These reactions are totally normal, the great majority of people who find themselves, just like you, facing a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, feel this way. But this is just the start of a long journey. This book attempts to make you feel less alone and to answer the myriad of questions that a parent generally asks after receiving a diagnosis of autism for their child, suggesting the best treatment programmes on offer.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ORIENTED NARRATIVE

PSYCHOLOGICAL ORIENTED NARRATIVE PON as a tool for educating about emotions

PON stories give children the opportunity to talk about themselves: by moving affective themes onto an unknown character, it is easier to avoid defensive behaviours that would prevent them from talking about their emotions. Claudia Ferraroli

Aimed at children aged 3 to 6, The Traffic Light Is Red is a rhyming story about a traffic light that, unexpectedly stopping on red, sends the entire city into a frenzy on a frenetic work day. This is the perfect opportunity to slow down and carefully observe the surprising and curiously strange situation created by this sudden stop. The special accordion format of the book allows children to handle, open, and fold it, thus developing tactile skills. Visual skills, on the other hand, are trained through the observation of colourful and detailed illustrations, more than a metre long and that glow in the dark, thanks to a special luminescent ink, revealing new curious objects and characters.

It glows in the dark!

THE STORY OF MARILÙ AND THE FIVE SENSES Discovering perception with the rhyming tree

Roberta Verità

Marilù is a very curious child who has fun playing in the woods where her special friend lives: a tree that speaks in rhyme! It is here in this very wood that Marilù meets the senses one at a time – first an eye, then an ear, next a finger, a mouth and a nose – each one ready to declare that they are the most important sense of all. But who is right? Fortunately, the rhyming tree, with a clever idea, manages to make Marilù understand how things really are… A story that will enchant children, and thanks to the colourful pictures, will cause them to reflect on how they perceive their world through the stimulation of their senses.

After the success of the first edition, reprinted over ten times, The head lost in fairy tales is now being released in a new version, with more contents and teaching ideas. The book presents fables and stories inspired by REBT (Rational-Emotive Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy), and is, in other words, designed to teach children and youths how to transform negative thoughts into positive ones, leaving them with awareness of the influence our way of thinking has on our emotions and therefore on our wellbeing.

oping Power nella scuola secondaria nasce dall’esigenza di creare un progetto di prevenzione e intervento sulle problematiche di condotta in alunni di età preadolescenziale, favorendo al tempo stesso le dinamiche prosociali in ambiente scolastico ed extrascolastico. Dopo un’introduzione teorica sul programma Coping Power Scuola e sulla sua applicazione, vengono presentati i sette moduli di cui è composto il percorso didattico, percorso che si articola lungo l’intero anno scolastico, e una serie di schede operative e spunti di riflessione da elaborare in classe, individualmente o in piccoli gruppi. A ciascun modulo corrispondono uno o più capitoli della storia illustrata Siamo un gruppo (in allegato), in cui sono narrate le vicende di cinque ragazzi di una scuola secondaria di primo grado che decidono di creare un gruppo musicale e partecipare a un concerto scolastico. I compagni dovranno però affrontare assieme e superare, con non poche difficoltà, paure, emozioni contrastanti e pregiudizi. Partendo dalla lettura della storia, i moduli affrontano le tematiche cardine del Coping Power Scuola secondo questa struttura: – Modulo introduttivo: la costruzione del gruppo – Modulo 1: Traguardi a breve e a lungo termine – Modulo 2: Consapevolezza delle emozioni – Modulo 3: Gestire le emozioni con l’autocontrollo – Modulo 4: Cambiare punto di vista (perspective taking) – Modulo 5: Problem solving e abilità di rifiuto – Modulo 6: Riconoscere le qualità proprie e altrui.

COPING POWER AL NIDO D’INFANZIA

It is well known that children with high levels of aggressive behaviour, hyperactivity C and behaviour problems create a serious management problem in the school context and interfere with the development of peer learning. Coping Power was created as a model of intervention and treatment, developed for children and preadolescents with aggression problems and for children with an oppositional defiant disorder or conduct disorder diagnosis.

Patrizia e Nicola sono fratello e sorella. Patrizia e Nicola stanno mangiando in cucina i biscotti preparati dalla loro nonna. Patrizia dopo un po’ dice: «Basta mangiare biscotti, ne abbiamo mangiati troppi. Mangiamoli di nuovo domani». Patrizia mette la scatola dei biscotti nella credenza e va a giocare nella sua stanza. Nicola si ferma in cucina e decide di fare uno scherzo alla sorella: prende i biscotti dalla credenza e li sposta nel forno. Patrizia si è accorta di non avere il cellulare e ritorna in cucina a prenderlo. Quando arriva vicino alla porta vede Nicola che sposta i biscotti nel forno. Nicola non vede Patrizia perché è di spalle. L’indomani Patrizia dice a Nicola: «Io adesso prendo i biscotti!».

The Art of Mending Your Heart Overcoming the end of love and returning to happiness Starting in childhood, human beings learn to bond with others, to share experiences and predict the behaviour of their fellows. They are made to build relationships. Unfortunately, however, they are not as good at ending them, and when a love ends the trauma can have serious repercussions in every aspect of life. The Art of Mending Your Heart will accompany the reader, through ten steps, in the various phases that follow the end of love, in the re-acquisition of trust and self-esteem, and in the development of a greater awareness of oneself and relationships.

What is sexuality for you? What does it mean to be virile? What do you feel when you read about men who rape women? Do you think violence is a component of male sexuality? Does pornography have an influence on your sexuality? If so, how? These are the questions posed by Monica Lanfranco – journalist, trainer and activist – to more than 1000 students between 16 and 19 years old. The answers show the portrait of young men who, in the absence of indications from an adult world with which the educational pact is visibly broken, tell of the internet and online pornography as the main source of teaching and initiation into sexuality and of masculinity developed in a dangerous confusion between virility and violence.

I Am a Super(hero) Social Worker I Am a Super(hero) Social Worker is the operative book for all social workers interested in questioning and reflecting on their profession, thanks to the comparison with other social workers. The book «plays» on the paradox of almost having to possess superpowers to face many dramatic situations «alone» when instead it is always necessary to activate collaborations and synergies, being that in existential matters the real superheroes are «all together».

In addition, the book helps the caregiver understand his/her situation, that of his/her loved one and the different elements related to coping with the difficulties encountered.

The activities offer cognitive reactivation by using activities that the elderly people used to do in the past: work with clay, with leaves, with corn cobs, with paper and other natural elements. The programme proposed in the book is particularly useful in cases of dementia. The manual contains 10 sections, which hold an average of 10 worksheets each. All sections have an introduction by a person with experience in the field and are connected to each other by a reading worksheet and the domino game. The activities refer to each other, creating an integrated set of activities that allows the worker to use them by placing them in their own cultural reality to suit the needs of the users.

Aging Actively is a manual for professionals and clinicians who work with the elderly. It provides innovative working materials to carry out cognitive training with the aim of keeping the memory of the elderly «in shape». This book proposes three preventive intervention programmes: «Metacognitive training», «Strategic training» and «Working memory training», for elderly people with typical aging or with initial fragile aging. The manual is divided into two parts. The first part includes materials for the worker. The second part includes materials for the participant. The part for the worker describes the session activities for each of the three trainings (as well as a combined one). The part for the participant consists of activities, questionnaires, and response cards to be used for carrying out exercises proposed in the sessions, as well as materials for performing the exercises at home. An online extension with numerous printable worksheets to be used when required is added to the previous two sections. Attached to the book, the authors instead propose numerous materials to be cut out (word lists) to build the «exercise book» to be used at home.

Professor of Social Work Methodology at the Catholic University of Milan, where he coordinates the PhD in «Social work and personal social services». He also coordinates the Relational Social Work Research Centre. Co-founder of Centro Studi Erickson.

The volume explores the social (relational) paradigm in welfare practices and outlines the unsuspected potential of «caring for each other» (caring) alongside the usual clinical methods of «healing» (curing). The work lays the foundations for a general theory of social help. Its primary speculative intent is embellished with illuminating operational examples in various sectors of social work.
