Implementation of Character Education Program

The development of a Character Education program includes and complements a broad range of educational approaches such as whole child education, service learning, social-emotional learning, and civic education. All the approaches share a commitment to helping young people become responsible, caring, and contributing citizens. 

 

To assist in the successful implementation of the Character Education the following are the goals of the various components:

• Mental- to decrease (and eventually eliminate) deficient thinking from all stakeholders (students, parents/guardians, staff, administration, and the community) within the academic setting.
• Emotional- to assess how emotions drive behavior and academics to further understand the difference between Activation and Evaluation triggers,
• Social- to have students understand the function of the behavior through the demonstration of appropriate models and positive reinforcement; in turn, developing students who demonstrate the applicable social skills for various settings,
• Physical- to understand physical limitations can surpass the physical means through supplementation of outside resources, and
• Environmental- to develop relationships with the community that bring the curriculum to life for the students while bettering the community.
