In the beautifully designed book, THE COMPASSIONATE CLASSROOM, Jane Dalton and Lyn Fairchild have provided an excellent guide for teachers to use in the classroom. The lesson plans are very innovative, with specific examples, and will be very easy for teachers to use and very effective in molding students' lifetime perceptions and attitudes. Not only are the lessons well-defined for teachers, but they also would be effective for parents to use at home. All ages will learn from the pages of THE COMPASSIONATE CLASSROOM.
