A Program to Teach Character Development

By Ramona Rolle-Berg

Teaching character education is incredibly rewarding especially given the world we all live in today. But what is character? What are ethical values? How do we, as teachers of our youngest citizens, distill such sophisticated and intangible concepts into activities understandable to a third grade boy and his kindergarten sister? Obviously, one has to break it down. Simplify.”
