What Matters Most is a classroom resource about one of the major challenges facing the global community. Well over a billion people still live on less than $1.25 a day; nearly two billion people still live in slums; a child still dies of hunger-related causes every six seconds. Nevertheless, there is also cause for hope – over the last 20 years the number of people living in extreme poverty has fallen in every global region, and the number of children dying globally from poverty-related causes has reduced by more than a third.1

All’s Well? is a resource book for upper primary teachers — packed with lesson ideas and resources to bring the world of water to the classroom.

This book gives teachers the tools to bring rich global learning experiences to the classroom — increasing knowledge, fostering new skills, questioning values, and encouraging realistic action for positive global citizenship.

This guide book was put together over 2006 and 2007 using some of the latest research about what makes mentoring programs work well. It is detailed and easy to read and understand, and gives practical ideas about planning a program, and training mentors as well as finding useful resources to make programs run well. It comes with a handy CD that contains material useful for getting a program off the ground. The authors of the book have worked as both researchers and practitioners and brought a wide range of mentoring experience to the task.
