The Tucker Project was started to help elementary aged children learn social, and emotional skills. Tucker Turtle is the main character of the book Tucker Turtle Takes Time to Tuck and Think by Rochelle Lentini from the University of South Florida. The original book, and many other fantastic resources are available at:
http://csefel.vanderbilt.edu/resources/strategies.html
Even more resources are available at:
challengingbehavior.org
Sadly, the funding for CSEFEL, and TACSEI has ended. Tucker lives on through The Pyramid Model training available to both teacher, and parents.
The best website I could find for information is on this site:
pyramidmodel.org
Several states have implemented Pyramid Model Training. To find out if this is available in your state ask at your child's school, or call your local child care counsel.
This blog was developed to ensure that Tucker continues to teach children emotional control techniques, and to have some fun!
