Character Education
When you promote character education, young people build self-control and
good character, and they learn how to avoid cheating, lying, tattling, violence,
and bullying.
Here are
many simple ways to teach respect and good character.
Self-Esteem
When feelings of self-worth increase, grades and test scores go up, and students are better able to withstand the pressure to engage in alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. You will find resources to help improve students' self-esteem, academic achievement, and overall quality of life here.
