A multicultural model for children in Grades K through 5 to foster skills needed for success is presented. The learning, living, and working (LLW) group work model focuses on three skill sets identified by multiple researchers over the past 30 years as necessary for success in school, relationships, and work. These three skill sets--learning skills, social skills, and cognitive strategies--can be strengthened by participation in the LLW group sessions. The 12-session group uses role play, stories about diversity, and service learning to increase success skills and understanding of diverse cultures. Listening, attending behaviors, cooperative work and play, and the use of story structure are embedded into each session. The goal of group participation is increased academic achievement and positive peer relations. The model was developed to be used in a school setting and may be appropriate for other settings as well.
