This essential guide is a fun, relevant way to introduce students to key character traits. The Young Person's Character Education Handbook helps students understand why character is important and how character contributes to success in school, at home, and in life.
One positive character trait (presented as a "character goal") is described in each of the 50 units in an engaging and consistent way for easy reading, teaching, and discussion.
