The document discusses the important role that schools play in shaping students' character and moral development. It argues that schools should include moral values and character development classes in their curriculum. Both teachers and parents influence students greatly, so teachers should provide moral lessons and guidance to help promote students' positive development. Effective approaches to character education include positive discipline, which teaches life skills while building mutual respect between students and teachers. Schools should create a warm, safe environment where students feel respected and supported in their learning.

Students spend nearly 6-8 hours in school,
and they have a strong influence on their
teachers. They listen to their teachers more
than anyone else. So, if teachers start giving
them moral lectures, then it will surely result
positively in the child’s development.

13. What we Need to Teach?

14. Approaches to effective
Character Education
There are many different
approaches for providing
meaningful character building
experiences for your students, but
we will concentrate on positive
discipline.

15. POSITIVE DISCIPLINE
Positive Discipline is an approach to
teaching that helps children succeed,
gives them the information they need
to learn, and supports their
development. It respects children’s
rights to healthy development,
protection from violence, and active
participation in their learning.

16.  About finding long term solutions that develop
 students’ own self-discipline;
 Clear and consistent communication;
Consistent reinforcement of your expectations,
rules and limits;
Based on knowing your students and being fair;
Aimed at building a mutually respectful
relationship with your students;
Positive Discipline in
Everyday Teaching (PDET)

17. Positive Discipline
Teaching students life-long skills and
fostering their love of learning;
Teaching courtesy, non-violence, empathy,
self- respect, and respect for others and
their rights; and
Increasing students’ competence and
confidence to handle academic challenges
and difficult situations.

18. Positive Discipline is not:
Permissiveness;
Letting students do whatever
they want; Having no rules,
limits or expectations; Short-
term reactions; or
Alternative punishment to
slapping, hitting and shaming.

20. PROVIDINGWARMTH
WARMTH is creating school and classroom
environments that ensure your students feel
physically and emotionally safe. It requires that you
recognize and respect their developmental levels, are
sensitive to their academic and social needs, and
empathize with their emotions and the situations they
may be facing. Children learn best and will cooperate
more in a warm, safe and caring environment.
Examples of showing warmth are listening to them,
showing them respect even when they make
mistakes, encouraging them especially when they are
having difficulties and looking at things from their
point of view.

21. PROVIDING STRUCTURE
STRUCTURE is the information students need
in order to succeed academically and
behaviorally. It gives students the tools they
need to solve problems, work out conflicts, and
succeed academically. Examples of providing
structure are providing opportunities to fix their
mistakes in a way that helps them to learn,
hearing their point of view, controlling your
anger
, teaching them about the effects of their
actions on other people, involving them in
setting rules, explaining the reasons for rules,
and being a good role model to them.
