ERIC Digest. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC RECENT TRENDS IN VALUES EDUCATION There has been a renewal of concern during the 1990s about teaching and learning valuesstandards that everyone should have about what is good or bad. And leading educators have recommended stories about heroes as a main means of teaching and learning values. Teaching methods that stress only cognitive skills in the analysis and clarification of choices about values have fallen from favor. The current trend is against teaching neutrally about values. Rather, the trend is for teaching values in concert with methods of analysis and judgment that yield answers about right and wrong, better and worse concerning personal behavior and the common good (Leming 1996). Why and how should role models and heroes be used to teach values?

Schools and Libraries Offer Summer Reading Programs Every educator knows it. So do most parents. Summer reading is essential for kids! Reading is a lifelong endeavor, and for many young readers it is critical that they continue to develop their skills and love of books all year long. This summer, the three San Diego City libraries serving PUSD, and the Poway Branch of the San Diego County library, will be sponsoring summer reading programs with an Olympic theme. Summer Reading Olympics....Go for the Gold! is the theme of this summer's reading incentive program. Students can sign-up at their local library beginning in June. Deb Pint, PUSD Character Counts! program coordinator sees this as an opportunity to utilize reading to foster the development of the "Six Pillars of Character". "There are thousands of books and reading lists that link character messages focused on Trustworthiness, Responsibility, Respect, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship," said Deb Pint. The youth services librarians will be promoting their reading programs at all of the district's elementary schools. Students enrolled in the summer ESS program will also have the opportunity to participate. Books will be available at their school site and special field trips to the library can be arranged so that everyone can "Read for the Gold!" The school site that reads the most books as a percentage of their summer enrollment will be eligible for some special awards.

Seen as an opportunity to take their classroom activities into the woods, students will take part in nature hikes, campfires and other outdoor activities, including building crafts, playing field games and learning a variety of camp skills, like campfire cooking and tent pitching. The camp, which runs through June 4, will conclude students' yearlong experience with the Learning for Life curriculum. "(The camp) provides hands-on activities to reinforce the lessons that we taught in the classroom," said Chris Blum, finance director for the Clinton Valley Council, based in Pontiac. Blum said the camp also encourages cooperative learning through pairing children together in a buddy system for activities. The program's largest goal, Blum said, is to remind students that learning is an ongoing activity and that it can take place inside and outside the classroom.

For the second year, Cheryl Anderson's fifth-graders are performing the "Wax Museum Biographies." The students mentally leave their small South Dakota town population 913 for such places as the moon, a street in Montgomery, Alabama, or the steps of the White House. Donations for their performances go to charitable activities within the state. Some pupils at Arlington Elementary School in Arlington, South Dakota, have a dream. Others have "asked not what their country can do for them." Still others have taken a "giant step for mankind." Cheryl Anderson's fifth graders mentally leave their small South Dakota town population 913 for such places as the moon, a street in Montgomery, Alabama, or the steps of the White House. For the second year, Anderson has assigned her class what she calls the "Wax Museum Biographies." The hope, according to Anderson, is for the children to become involved in history while learning citizenship. The students conduct two-minute speeches in front of fellow students and members of the community. Like many actors, though, they work only for money. Drop a nickel in the cans they hold, and these actors begin to play their chosen characters. Without a contribution to the pot, they remain as still as statues in a wax museum.

Site Preview Site Overview Character Traits Resources Welcome to the Character Education Network Twenty Strategies to Help Your Children Develop Good Character Model good character in the home. As William Bennett observed in The Book of Virtues Be clear about your values. Tell your children where you stand on important issues. Good character is both taught and caught. If we want children to internalize the virtues that we value, we need to teach them what we believe and why. In the daily living of our lives, there are countless opportunities to engage children in moral conversation. Show respect for your spouse, your children, and other family members. Parents who honor each other, who share family responsibilities, and who resolve their differences in peaceful ways communicate a powerful message about respect. If children experience respect firsthand within the family, they are more likely to be respectful of others. Simply stated, respect begets respect. Model and teach your children good manners. Insist that all family members use good manners in the home. Good manners are really the Golden Rule in action. Whether the issue is courtesy or other simple social graces, it is in the home that the true thoughtfulness for others has its roots.

search relationships parenting pregnancy/babies health ... Respect: How To Teach It And Show It Respect: How To Teach It And Show It by Steve McChesney One of the most important things you can teach your child is respect. Keep in mind that respect is not the same as obedience. Children might obey because they are afraid. If they respect you, they will obey because they know you want what's best for them. The best way to teach respect is to show respect. When a child experiences respect, they know what it feels like and begin to understand how important it is. Keep in mind the saying "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Respect is an attitude. Being respectful helps a child succeed in life. If children don't have respect for peers, authority, or themselves, it's almost impossible for them to succeed. A respectful child takes care of belongings and responsibilities, and a respectful child gets along with peers. Schools teach children about respect, but parents have the most influence on how respectful children become. Until children show respect at home, it's unlikely they will show it anywhere else. How can you show respect to your child?

Experts have begun to realize that in order to place mathematics in a meaningful context, the material should be rich in such dramatic elements as character development, plot, surprise, conflict, and suspense. This is where storytelling comes in. Casey and her team of scholars and elementary-school teachers developed Wright Group/McGraw-Hill. the National Science Foundation.
