Practicing School Counselor Shares Her Time and Energy in Publishing a New Curriculum for Character Education and Values Lessons

Practicing School Counselor Shares Her Time and Energy in Publishing a New Curriculum for Character Education and Values Lessons

The founder and President of Counseling Today, Inc. along with the publisher, Outskirts Press, Inc. reveals a new Character Education Curriculum. Divided into monthly character traits, this new program will be an invaluable asset to the dynamics of building a school culture.

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) March 8, 2006

Building a Champion Character will benefit your school, your staff and your students.

•Teaches tolerance, courtesy, and respect of Others.

•Increases Teaching Time.

•Reduces Disruptive Behavior.

•Saves money – Student worksheets included. No training required.

•Easy to implement.

•Improves Peer Relationships through Interactive Activities.

•Combines Character Development Efforts of Home, School, and Community.

•Promotes Care of Community/School Property and Improves School Climate.

This program is a systematic approach to building character, citizenship, values, and regard for self and others. The program is simple to administer, effective, and proven.

Building a Champion Character was developed as a work in process as it was taught throughout the year. The activities are the final lessons that were presented with adaptations that were found necessary along the way through the teacher’s and counselor’s experiences in the original year as well as input from the readers and users of the materials in subsequent years. Also included are letters for each month to go along with the lessons. As is already known and accepted, parents love communication. So, the letter could come from the counselor as the “director” of the program even though the teachers are actually carrying out most of the lessons. 

The author, Susan Rose, lives with her husband, son and daughter in Louisville, Kentucky. She received both her Bachelors degree in Education and her Masters degree in Counseling Pyschology from the University of Louisville. She is currently counseling within the Jefferson County Public School system and working toward her doctorate in Counselor Education.

This program will save you valuable time to be with your students! Best wishes for a great Character Developing Year.
