Anger toward self and others can be resolved or redirected in an effective way. It is important to teach students that anger itself isn’t the problem because it is an emotion that has constructive benefits when handled appropriately. The behavior choices that result from anger are the real issue. Learning constructive strategies to address and manage anger are the primary concern. A developmental guidance system is essential because it creates a foundation for personal, social, emotional, and behavioral experiences and skills needed for resolving anger in a healthy way.

This Grow With Guidance System formula provides a way professional educators can work smart with results. The formula includes the Grow With Guidance System as a foundation consisting of System components: Behavior Management, Self-Talk/Self-Pictures, Staff Skills (Implementation), Student Skills (Curriculum), Family Involvement and Observation/Evaluation. The goal of each formula is to apply this innovative approach in education that develops students’ spirit, purpose, and potential.

In addition the System Foundation components of the school counseling program are included as appropriate. Expanded information regarding each formula is included in Teaching and Counseling for Today’s World 2nd Edition.
