Character Education Studies Weekly

These six weekly newspapers are designed to be used at the teacher's discretion at any time throughout the school year and are shipped at the beginning of the school year.

Character Education is based on common character education benchmarks from state departments of education throughout the southeastern United States.

Our Studies Weekly teacher authors used biographies of prominent historic individuals for a curriculum foundation. The following topics are covered:

Unit 3 : CARING – discusses compassion, kindness, friendship, gratitude, and consideration; emphasizes the importance of listening to, sharing with, and encouraging others; explores the difference between sympathy and empathy; stresses the need for courtesy, manners, and civility at school and in the community

Unit 4 : INTEGRITY – discusses honesty, trustworthiness, and loyalty; emphasizes the importance of keeping one’s word and exercising good judgement; encourages students to have the courage to stand up for what they believe is right

Unit 5 : FAIRNESS – discusses equality, humility, and sportsmanship; explores the concept of justice in terms of law, civil rights, and basic human rights; emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and remembering the Golden Rule
