This research-based curriculum is designed to improve the character and leadership traits among high school students. Most schools use this as a stand-alone course, using it as an elective for their freshmen academy, at-risk populations or student government classes. Other schools choose to integrate it into other core classes, such as social studies, health, English or life skills. Either way, this character education curriculum provides students with the necessary skills to be successful in all facets of their lives. Students and teachers alike come to rely on the consistent weekly format of ethical dilemmas, lectures, current events, core readings from The Role Models textbook, basic skills and writing assignments.

        Role Models: Examples of Character and Leadership serves as the textbook for the curriculum. We believe kids need positive role models to look up to and emulate. Unfortunately, many kids today report they do not have role models. Other times, the role model is, at best, a curious choice. The Role Models textbook highlights 17 individuals who exemplify the different character traits covered in the curriculum. This book offers a mix of historical figures that have stood the test of time like Amelia Earhart, Booker T. Washington and Helen Keller, as well as contemporary figures who are worthy of our admiration, such as Tiger Woods, Christopher Reeve and Oprah Winfrey. Quizzes and vocabulary lists accompany each chapter.
