Teaching Character

This is the first posting of what I hope will be an interactive discussion on the issues of schools taking on(sometimes unwillingly)the major responsibility of teaching and mentoring students in the areas of character development.

  1. I received a newsletter this week from SDSU Extension and it focused on how to incorporate character ed in classrooms. It had some good easy to use examples. You can access it by contacting marilyn.eighmy@sdstate.edu
    CharacterCounts! has free downloadable classroom materials for characterCounts! kickoff week in october. You can sign up for their newsletter and the info is in PDF format and comes to you in your e-mail. http://www.charactercounts.org is how you reach them.
    Free stuff! Yeah!

  2. I just finished writing a paper on school cell phone policies. This has been a hot topic around the country(most notably in PA) and is soon to explode with the recent trend of using cell phones to send inappropriate photos and material.It has been in the news locally this last week and I expect we will legal issues explode with it.
    Should students be allowed to carry cell phones in school?
