Developing Safer Schools and Communities for Our Children: The Interdisciplinary Responsibility of Our Time - Softcover

It's hard not to be affected by this description of how children are emotionally and physically harmed in the 2lst century. Seeing and hearing the world through their eyes is made easier--and also more difficult--as one reads Gunzelmann's account. As she says, 'the fallout has a domino effect' on all of us. -- Deborah Meier, senior scholar and adjunct professor, New York University's Steinhardt School of Education; board member and director of New Ventures at Mission Hill; director and advisor to Forum for Democracy and Education Betsy Gunzelmann's discussion of violence and safety shows appropriate concern for children's healthy development. In response, let's guide children to use and consume media critically, responsibly and pro-socially to mitigate cultural violence, violent media and events, disrespectful and harmful media use. -- Rona Zlokower, MCM, Exec. Dir., Media Power Youth, Manchester NH
