Full Description
expand_circle_downSocial-emotional learning works best when it’s woven into the fabric of your school – not added as an afterthought. The Full Value School gives you a comprehensive, practical system for creating a classroom culture where students feel safe, valued and empowered to participate. It explains why the approach works, backed by research, and gives you everything you need to put it into practice.
What’s Inside
- Hundreds of fun, experiential activities designed to teach key SEL concepts, including self-awareness, empathy, communication and responsible decision-making
- A clear framework for building a safe, affirming culture and climate in your classroom, school or community setting
- A simple group processing model that facilitates respectful dialogue, appropriate sharing of feelings and positive problem-solving
- Tools that empower students to develop an influential voice that is valued by their peers
This isn’t just a book of activities – it’s a complete system for transforming how your students relate to one another and to learning itself.
Who It’s For
Written specifically for school teachers, administrators, school counsellors and SEL coordinators. Equally valuable for parents, therapists and community-based educators working with young people.

FAQs
expand_circle_downIs this book only useful for schools, or does it apply elsewhere?
Schools are the primary setting, but the Full Value concept applies anywhere a group works together over time – the book is written for educators, parents, clinicians and consultants alike. Corporate teams and community groups with ongoing (rather than one-off) relationships will find the same principles transfer directly.
How is this different from activity books, like Count Me In or No Props No Problem?
The focus here is different – this book centres on building Full Value behavioural norms and a safe, affirming culture, rather than simply expanding your activity repertoire. That said, it does include dozens of activities to help you put those tenets into practice, many of which also appear in No Props No Problem, Count Me In and on playmeo’s database – so it complements those books rather than duplicating them.
Who are the authors, and what’s their background in this field?
Principal author Dr Richard Maizell has 35+ years as an educator and psychologist, and implemented Full Value district-wide in his own schools, cutting bullying and harassment referrals significantly over three years. Co-author Jim Schoel is a long-time figure in experiential education (also known for the Gold Nuggets reference text), with John Grund, LCSW, contributing a clinical perspective. Between them, they bring genuine classroom results, adventure-education pedigree, and mental health expertise to the book.
Does the book explain how to actually introduce & establish a Full Value agreement, or just the theory?
Both. It sets out why the approach works, then walks through the practical steps for implementing it – including a step-by-step scope and sequence, plus the group processing framework needed to facilitate respectful dialogue and positive problem-solving with your group.
