This unit of the Flexible Learning System (FLS) is designed to help teachers analyzing the effects of classroom situations on the self-concepts of children in preschool through third grade. Among the questions addressed are: What is a healthy self-concept; How do teaching practices affect children's self-concepts; and When are situations demeaning, restricting, overrating, or enhancing to the self-concept? It is proposed that self-concepts develop as children take credit for what they do and what they are, and as they integrate the results of new experiences. The first 60 pages contain guidelines for conducting an 8-session class or workshop. Workshop sessions involve a variety of activities including assigning positive/negative ratings to a set of standard situations, using an analysis instrument for more detailed ratings of classroom situations, rating personally observed situations, and producing and discussing ways to improve situations. It is suggested that individual ratings and analyses be shared with partners or with a group, allowing the benefit of more than one point of view. The workshop guidelines are followed by three resource booklets, each approximately 40 pages long, containing readings about self-concept as well as examples and discussions of classroom situations and their relation to self-concept. Situations presented in the resource booklets are reproduced on sets of cards which are included with the document. Related FLS units include: "Teaching Children to Integrate Language Experiences"; "Problem-Solving with Children"; "Managing the Preschool Classroom"; "Communicating and Working with Parents"; "Analyzing Children's Books from a Chicano Perspective"; "Selecting Children's Books with a Black Perspective"; "Enriching Children's Literature Experiences."
