Character Education is defined by Wikipedia as “the teaching of children in a manner that would purportedly help them develop variously as moral, civic, good, mannered, behaved, non-bullying, healthy, critical, successful, traditional, compliant and socially acceptable beings.” So to put it simply, it’s is teaching your students to be good human beings. Could there be any more important of a task?
- 3. Why is thisimportant? This is a good question…but a better question is how wouldn’t it be important? Yes, teachers have about a million things to do in the classroom so what are some reasons that they should spend time focusing on developing their children's’ character…Let’s see!
- 4. 1. School mightbe the only place your kids learn character education Yes, all parents should teach their children how to have good character, but the fact is some don’t. And when these kids are with you for nearly 35 hours in a week, this is a perfect time to help develop their character to benefit your classroom and to benefit those kids.

Character EducationBuilds Relationships and Helps Contribute to better School Environments Discussing and implementing character education in your classroom can help students learn to be kind, patient, and caring to their classmate which, in turn, helps them build better friendships. When students can have these characteristics and relationships the school environment will greatly improve as well.

- 7. 4. It canhelp change the world!!!!!!!!!!!! Though this may seem like an overstatement, is it really? Yes-It is so important that you are academically teaching your students but when you teach them character as well you are aiding the future politicians, teachers, doctors, bankers, salesmen, and societal workers in general!!!! Having children that display this necessary character will undoubtedly shape the future for the better!
- 8. Sound Important Enough?! Yeah I think so, too. So make certain that you teach character education in your classrooms because you never know how your students are going to shape the world.
- 9. Role of Technology Teaching character education doesn’t have to be technologically based, but it can be. For Example: I made a WebQuest about anti-bullying for this class. But as a teacher you can also make it more socially interactive as well. It’s really up to you, as a teacher, how you want to include technology in teaching character education
