Daily Application
In addition to using the projects suggested in the Character First! curriculum, teachers can integrate the character qualities into their students' academics.
For example, a teacher can assign students to write about how the character quality they are studying can make a difference at school or home.
A music teacher can encourage students to write songs with character messages. Even athletic instructors can integrate character by showing how inner attitudes influence physical performance and team cooperation.
Bulletin boards, school marquees, letters to parents, hallway décor, daily announcements, student newspapers, school websites, parent meetings, and special events all afford opportunities to integrate a character emphasis into regular school activities.
