The Bullies Are a Pain In the Brain Curriculum reflects the Guidance Competency Model delivery system components of Guidance Curriculum, Individual Planning, Responsive Services and Systems Support.  The Curriculum lessons are designed to be used to produce change in student behavior.  In addressing the Guidance Curriculum component, our lessons are structured to be delivered to all students.  They directly express the tenets of the standards and competencies - academic, career development, and personal/social with direct correlations to the Personal/Social Development competencies and standards.

The Bullies Are a Pain In the Brain Curriculum addresses the components of Individual Planning.  The lessons are ongoing and contain systematic activities, which are specifically designed to assist students learn to establish and develop personal goals and enable them to develop future plans.  The objective is to use the materials to effectuate positive change in student behavior.   When those crises do occur and require Responsive Services, The Bullies Are a Pain In the Brain Curriculum was developed to address those critical needs. Because the lessons of the Curriculum exemplify a comprehensive developmental guidance program’s goals, the lessons meet guidance counselors’ objectives to implement a comprehensive developmental guidance program that assists them in also addressing the System Support components of campus counseling programs.

Many times teachers are only aware of the academic needs of their students.  The infusion of the Bullies Are a Pain In the Brain Kindergarten Curriculum into the guidance program provides the opportunity for counselors to assist teachers in addressing the comprehensive needs and concerns of their students (academic, career, personal/social).

The implementation of the Bullies Are a Pain In the Brain Curriculum into a comprehensive developmental guidance model creates an inter-disciplinary team effort in addressing students’ needs and educational goals.  This interdisciplinary team is the way to have an integrated approach to the total education of a student, so the guidance program is not an isolated or independent part of the school program.  One of the best expected results is to have more collaboration between teachers and counselors in achieving student improvement in performance and self-management skills.  Counselors and teachers together are now equipped to more readily participate in at-risk student identification and implementation of appropriate guidance responsive services to promote student success. Counselors are now equipped to conduct/participate with the teachers to help increase teachers’ awareness as to how counselors can be proactively of help to them instead of being a last resort for behavioral intervention.

Improves School Climate

The opportunity for counselors to deliver these materials in a counseling curriculum as well for counselors to help teachers use tools that combine these elements allow the campus climate to be less stressful for both students and teachers when children are taught to deal with difficult social issues productively, which leads to more effective learning, more successful testing outcomes, and socially healthier children who will then have the skill set to manage their emotions. Students win because they are taught (1) to be in control of their behavior and (2) to deal with the negative behavior of others resulting in fewer disruptions in class and the sustainability of a more positive learning experience with more focus on instruction for each of them. Additionally, schools will benefit from:

• Safer school environment

• Less aggressive behavior of students

• Improved student attitude toward others

• Improved attitude toward school work

15 Days of Caring – More than a dream! Become a champion for caring…

Life would have it that something very simple began about a year ago with the students at J.L. Everhart Magnet School in Longview Texas. As the children were studying the idea of Caring they decided to jot down their ideas to share with one another in class and what resulted, with some editing, illustrating, and publishing help from The Trevor Romain Company, was an amazing little book Who Cares? I Do!

Once in print, this book took on an expanded vision for all who had been involved. Could this little book, with supporting material, change the world? The teachers from the elementary schools in Longview Texas believe so and have enthusiastically taken time to write a Teacher’s Guide. From that simple beginning, Who Cares? I Do! along with supporting material, has evolved into a classroom/campus participation set that has set the stage for a 15 Day Caring Campaign with a potentially global impact.

The 15 Days of Caring Curriculum Set includes:

1 Bulletin Board
20 Student Books
20 Student Journals
120 Stickers
1 Downloadable Teacher's Guide

YOU CAN PURCHASE ADDITIONAL SET COMPONENTS SEPARATELY

Available only in conjunction with the purchase of a Classroom Set. Contact us at 1-877-876-6246 for quantities and pricing.

Here is your ticket to become a champion for caring!

Texas IB Schools and the schools and administrators of Longview ISD involved in this Caring Campaign are not equipped to handle the marketing of these materials and have engaged the help, once again, of The Trevor Romain Company (TTRC) in Austin TX. Today, with their help, these materials are more readily available to you.

Start the process of getting involved today by purchasing the classroom set.

What would happen if 15 students practiced caring for 15 school days?

What would happen if 150 students practiced caring for 15 days?

What would happen if 1,500 students practiced caring for 15 days?

What would happen if 15,000 students practiced caring for 15 days?

An International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme campus, educates a diverse student body through the efforts of dedicated teachers. In May 2009, the students studied what it means to be a caring person. Each student then wrote a personal scenario showing caring in action. After much thought and discussion, the classes selected their best scenario. This book represents these thoughts of the students by the amazing illustrations and linked by beautiful edits. As a work of love and joy, the children hope their thoughts will help all students become more caring so that their schools, homes and communities can become better for everyone. The book is a dual language book in Spanish and English.

True or False? Tests Stink!

But no matter how kids (and parents, and teachers) feel about tests, they’re part of life. To succeed in school, kids need to ask, "How can I be a better test-taker?"

This book has the answers. In the tradition of Trevor’s first Free Spirit book, How to Do Homework Without Throwing Up, it offers proven strategies and practical advice . . . plus plenty of humor and goofy cartoons. As kids smile and laugh their way through the pages, they’ll discover tips and information that will help them survive and thrive in all kinds of test situations.

Topics include: how to overcome test anxiety, procrastination, and perfectionism; how to prepare for specific types of tests (multiple choice, true-false, timed, take-home, standardized); how to handle cheaters; how to get extra help from tutors, mentors, and/or study groups; the pros and cons of guessing; how to feel better about tests in general; and much more.

Other study guides can be dry, boring, and much toooo lonnnng. True or False? Tests Stink! is fun, entertaining, and (like Trevor’s other books) small but mighty. It can inspire even reluctant and anxious students to do and be their best on test days.

And he shares the secret to being popular: just be yourself! Trevor knows how to get through to kids. As readers smile at his cartoons and laugh at his jokes, they’ll also be learning skills they need to make and keep friends—real friends, not people who pretend to be cool.

They’ll discover that some supposedly “popular” kids are lonely and miserable inside. And they’ll pick up important self-esteem tips that will help them feel good about themselves (because there’s no need to let a bad clique spoil a perfectly good day).

What On Earth Do You Do When Someone Dies?

This little book, full of concrete advice and expressive illustrations, offers the comfort and reassurance that children need during these difficult times. Written to and for kids, it’s also recommended for parents and other relatives, educators, counselors, and youth workers.

When Trevor Romain’s father died, Trevor didn’t know what to feel, say, or do. Shocked, saddened, and confused, all he could say was . . . wow. As he started understanding what had happened, he began writing about his experiences and feelings. His new book—simple, insightful, and straight from the heart—is for any child who has lost a loved one or other special person.

Trevor talks directly to kids about what death means and how to cope. He asks the kinds of questions kids have about death—Why? How? What next? Is it my fault?

Now an award-winning video, 'What On Earth Do You Do When Someone Dies?'.

Stress Can Really Get On Your Nerves!

Parents and teachers may not know—because kids don’t want to talk about it, or they don’t know how to put their stress or worries into words. Their “secret stress” surfaces as stomachaches, headaches, fatigue, trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, and an inability to concentrate. These and other stress-related symptoms can have a negative effect on school performance, family life, and friendships.

New from the best-selling authors of True or False? Tests Stink!, this book is a helping hand for kids and an eye-opener for adults. Reassuring words, silly jokes, and light-hearted cartoons let kids know they’re not the only worry-warts on the planet—and they can learn to manage their stress. A “What, Me Worry?” section describes the causes of stress and its physical and emotional effects. “How to Be a Panic Mechanic” gives kids ideas for dealing with stress and being stronger and more assertive.

Upbeat, positive, fact-filled, and friendly, this is the book on stress for kids and young adolescents.

The Other Side Of The Invisible Fence

In the wake of Nelson Mandela's appointment as President of the new South Africa comes a children's story as powerful as the fight for freedom itself.

The Other Side Of The Invisible Fence is a stunning tale that paints a beautiful, yet shockingly vivid portrait of South Africa as it moves from the apartheid years to the present.

The Other Side Of The Invisible Fence is about suffering. About hope. About change.

This book is written and illustrated by Trevor Romain.

Reviews

The "One of a Kind" compilation CD is a wonderful piece of music for children and adults alike. Trevor Romain has a real gift at getting across his message in simple words that children can easily understand. But there is nothing silly or simplistic about his words of hope, aimed to help children cope with challenges such as death, divorce, and facing fear, to name a few. Composer and producer Carl Thiel is equally gifted in his ability to turn Trevor's lyrics into songs, then to match the songs themselves with a diverse group of Austin artists, who bring them to life. "One of a Kind" is delightful from start to finish.

Planner boards include placeholders for all the required components of the International Baccalaureate PYP units of inquiry. Teachers using these boards enthusiastically endorse them as time saving and loved by their students.

An International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme campus, educates a diverse student body through the efforts of dedicated teachers. In May 2009, the students studied what it means to be a caring person. Each student then wrote a personal scenario showing caring in action. After much thought and discussion, the classes selected their best scenario. This book represents these thoughts of the students by the amazing illustrations and linked by beautiful edits. As a work of love and joy, the children hope their thoughts will help all students become more caring so that their schools, homes and communities can become better for everyone. The book is a dual language book in Spanish and English.

James E. Wilcox, D. Ed.
Superintendent

This book embodies all that The Trevor Romain Company stands for. I am so proud that our company was asked to partner with Longview ISD to work on this project. It was an honor for me to illustrate such heartfelt words of caring and compassion and for our company to publish this book.

15 Days of Caring – More than a dream! Become a champion for caring…

Life would have it that something very simple began about a year ago with the students at J.L. Everhart Magnet School in Longview Texas. As the children were studying the idea of Caring they decided to jot down their ideas to share with one another in class and what resulted, with some editing, illustrating, and publishing help from The Trevor Romain Company, was an amazing little book Who Cares? I Do!

Once in print, this book took on an expanded vision for all who had been involved. Could this little book, with supporting material, change the world? The teachers from the elementary schools in Longview Texas believe so and have enthusiastically taken time to write a Teacher’s Guide. From that simple beginning, Who Cares? I Do! along with supporting material, has evolved into a classroom/campus participation set that has set the stage for a 15 Day Caring Campaign with a potentially global impact.

The 15 Days of Caring Curriculum Set includes:

1 Bulletin Board
20 Student Books
20 Student Journals
120 Stickers
1 Downloadable Teacher's Guide

YOU CAN PURCHASE ADDITIONAL SET COMPONENTS SEPARATELY

Available only in conjunction with the purchase of a Classroom Set. Contact us at 1-877-876-6246 for quantities and pricing.

Here is your ticket to become a champion for caring!

Texas IB Schools and the schools and administrators of Longview ISD involved in this Caring Campaign are not equipped to handle the marketing of these materials and have engaged the help, once again, of The Trevor Romain Company (TTRC) in Austin TX. Today, with their help, these materials are more readily available to you.

Start the process of getting involved today by purchasing the classroom set.
