What is Character Education?
-Teaching students how to take responsibility for their actions and to treat others with respect.
-Showing students that there are specific payoffs in life for doing those things.
-Modeling that behavior for students every second that they are with us during the day, and expecting them to do the same.
-Creating an atmosphere at school where students can safely practice those behaviors until such behavior becomes the norm.
