A different influential person of
character, who demonstrates one of the pillars and traits through his or her life
commitments or specific actions, is also profiled each week. Included is an original drawing, brief biography (written for teachers and parents to review with the student), inspirational quotation, and informational Web site. This comprehensive character outline helps teachers depict for their students
how people have exemplified each pillar and corresponding trait.

Each month emphasizes a
different one of the “Six Pillars of Character” (trustworthiness, respect,
responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship). Each week features a
different corresponding trait. This layout provides teachers with an
organized framework for teaching character education.

This section can be explored by students independently or utilized by teachers as a lesson idea to stimulate classroom and home discussion. The section, which consists of various questions and/or activities, accompanies each of our character biographies to help students relate to the "Six Pillars of Character" and apply them to their everyday lives.
