Character Life Skills | Middle School

"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." - W.B. Yeats

A research-based, peer-to-peer program that profiles real teens telling their own stories. This multimedia approach engages students, improves school climate and stimulates the discussion and thinking that builds character. Each Middle School Character Collection is available in three distinct sets (Series 1, 2 and 3). Implement one series across multiple grade levels or all three for seamless implementation at grade levels without repetition of content.

Each series includes:

Eight DVDs addressing the 26 nationally recognized character words. Each eight-minute video segment features real teens talking about real issues.
Curriculum Guide with lesson plans, activities and vocabulary appropriate for middle school students.

Materials are easily integrated to align with Language Arts, Social Studies and Health standards in the classroom, small or large group settings.

“There used to be more conflicts that were settled with violence. Now, I have had children let me know [about the issue] and we were able to talk the problem out. I have also noticed a decrease in bullying behaviors with male students, which I teach. The students are starting to see the signs of bullying and recognizing the behaviors as bullying and not just middle school behavior.”
