Three hundred character educators and students
were asked the following question at the end of
Connecticut’s First Character Conference (4/5/99), “What
can I do to immediately begin or enhance the implementation of
a character initiative at my school?” Here are some
of their responses:
-
Discuss
the character traits of heroes and other main characters
in literature/history/current events and include them in
the curriculum.
-
Have
students write and produce skits which include character
themes for English, history and health class.
-
Help
the students plan service-learning projects with a focus
on character development and academic learning.
-
Work
with the students to focus homeroom time with the
inclusion of character quotes, goal setting and team
building.
-
Recruit
colleagues and students to form a team of collaborators
for the promotion of character in our school.
-
With
interested partners, draft an action plan to begin a
character initiative.
-
Assist
students to create a school newsletter, which emphasizes
student projects, school/community contributions and
character recognition.
