This research-based curriculum is designed to improve the character and leadership traits among high school students. While some schools use this as a stand-alone course, others integrate it into their core classes. This curriculum utilizes a consistent weekly format of ethical dilemmas, basic skills, lectures, readings from the Role Models text, current events, character movies and weekly writing assignments. This curriculum includes a day-by-day lesson plan and a CD that allows you to fit the lessons to your specific needs.

        This book highlights 17 individuals who exemplify one of the different character traits covered in the curriculum. As students immerse themselves in the character trait of the week, this textbook allows them to read about great Americans who exhibit each trait. The hope is that the students will begin to look up to and emulate these individuals. Each chapter is 10-12 pages in length. Quizzes and vocabulary lists accompany each chapter.

        A set of 18 character-based movies are available for purchase as a set. To help with time constraints, selected scenes are identified to target the character trait of the week. These selected scenes and discussion questions accompany each movie.

        A set of 17 posters are available to display in the classroom or around the school to reinforce positive character. Each poster features the role model, quote and trait of the week.

        This workbook contains every worksheet that a student uses over the course of a semester. This workbook keeps the students organized and eliminates the need to make numerous copies. This is not available without the purchase of the curriculum.
