The Power and
Promise of Educating for Character
The Power of One! Never
underestimate the power of one caring
adult in the life of a child. That caring
and interest carries a child a long way in
developing a life of character. One year with a
teacher of character can act as a catalyst for
change in the life of any student. Remember, in
our soaring technological lives, the most
important element in teaching is still the
human element. And just as one
caring teacher can influence the life of a child,
so can one teacher who is committed to the
character message, influence the direction of a
school!
