Responsibility at Work: How Leading Professionals Act (or Don't Act) Responsibly
Filled with original essays by Howard Gardner, William Damon, Mihaly Csikszenthmihalyi, and Jeanne Nakamura and based on a large-scale research project, the GoodWork® Project, Responsibility at Work reflects the information gleaned from in-depth interviews with more than 1,200 people from nine different professions—journalism, genetics, theatre, higher education, philanthropy, law, medicine, business, and pre-collegiate education. The book reveals how motivation, culture, and professional norms can intersect to produce work that is personally, socially, and economically beneficial. At the heart of the study is the revelation that the key to good work is responsilibilty—taking ownership for one’s work and its wider impact..

Equip For Educators: Teaching Youth (grades 5-8) To Think And Act Responsibly
Based on the original EQUIP program for adolescents and young adults, this manual is designed for working with younger students in grades 5-8.

The skill lessons are divided into three main sections: Equipping with Skills to Manage Anger and Correct Thinking Errors, Equipping with Social Skills, and Equipping with Mature Moral Judgment (Social Decision Making). EQUIP is presented as a 10-week curriculum that can be used in large or small group settings. It is especially useful for working with students who have behavioral and emotional disorders..
