Review
This readable, useable, wonderful book is not just a set of activities to build community. With this new edition, Jeanne and her colleagues incorporate the latest research on teaching and learning. They illustrate specifically how the Tribes process applies to a variety of school and organizational needs. Most importantly, they help the reader to feel hopeful and proud to be working and learning together with children and with each other. -- Carole Cooper, Director, Global Learning Communities
From the Publisher
Tribes, A New Way of Learning and Being Together blends the fields of group process and cooperative learning; prevention and resiliency; learning theory and school change into a comprehensive, meaningful whole.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Positive results were almost immediate in my 4-5 class.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tribes, A New Way of Learning and Being Together (Paperback)
When I first read Tribes I was concerned about giving up valuable curricular time for Tribes activities but I was desperate! The net result in my 4-5 combination class was a tremendous increase in productive teaching and learning. Even my most difficult students are now productive members in our room. As a new teacher this book allowed me to keep my sanity and created a cohesive, warm, and fun place to learn. Thank you Jeanne Gibbs!

This review is from: Tribes : A New Way of Learning and Being Together (Paperback)
I am a Teacher Assistant and work with Special Need students. The Teacher and myself use tools in this book everyday. It offers fantastic ideas and strategies for the classroom, no matter what age group. I work with 7yr old to 12 yr olds. They all benefit from the activities in this book. It is a good idea to have it with you in the classroom and to use it spontaneously when an incident may arise. It is a very user fiendly book. I highly recommend it.
