This workbook is geared towards youth ages 12-19 who read through real life stories and questions contained in the 5 Steps Workbook together (with an adult facilitator). The workbook uses real life stories to help youth conceptualize what is meant by the school to prison pipeline, giving tips on how they can avoid the pipeline along the way. The workbook is a story of one family's journey through the 5 Steps as they try to avoid the traps which await them in an invisible pipeline and offers many thought provoking questions throughout. The characters are 15 year old Jaleesa, 16 year old Robert, their Mom Latonia and their Dad Robert Sr.
My teacher did acitivties with our class from this workbook every morning before we started working and it was really fun and helped us to understand better that myteacher is a good person and human just like me and has feelings too. I loved this workbook. More adults should use it.
