People of Character
A different influential person of

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.

Lesson Plan Ideas for Teachers
are designed to stimulate classroom discussion. The lesson plan ideas accompany our character biographies to help students relate to the “Six Pillars of Character” and apply them to their everyday lives. These exercises, which can also be used by parents/guardians in the student’s home, enable teachers to implement character education in their classrooms with little or no planning on their part.
