THE VIRTUES
CHARACTER EDUCATION
Education Character is destiny. Virtues are the content of our character. The Virtues nurtures our children in the skills and qualities they need to be successful in school and in life. Although they are the oldest practices in the world, virtues are essential to the true goal of education – intelligence plus character. Power plus control leads to violence. Power plus compassion transforms bullies into leaders.
One of our class goals this year is to develop and 'bring out' these character virtues within each individual in our classroom. Through exploration of the 52 virtues, we as a class believe that we will be able to practice successful life skills.
Each week, we hope to explore one or more of these virtues, learning how to best practice and acknowledge each other when we see these virtues in use.
