The Workbook "Different Kinds of Friends" is an exceptional tool for teachers to use in their classrooms to talk about differences and ways to include everyone. This interactive workbook creates a safe space for students to discuss diversity, empathy and inclusion. It sparks meaningful conversations and activities while learning practical ways to support and include everyone. When kindness, friendship and belonging are emphasized, students are more likely to practice empathy, include others and form stronger, more respectful friendships.
