Student & Family Programs
Many problems in today′s classroom can be traced to a lack of character—bullying, tardiness, disrespect for teachers, cheating, vandalism, profanity, and drug abuse—all of which hinder student achievement, school safety, and public confidence.
The Character First education program trains teachers, parents, and youth workers how to integrate character into daily lessons and activities, how to reinforce positive behaviors, and how to correct inappropriate behavior in youth of all ages. The teaching curriculum supplies a wealth of age-appropriate illustrations, activities, applications, and object lessons.
