My plan is to teach based upon a lesson that I built that my students really have gained a lot from. Character building begins with making changes and growing from within yourself. Step 1- practicing self-confidence to love yourself first. Step 2- decide where you want to go and how you want to get there: create a personal road map to happiness and success by designing a personal mission statement. Step 3- take character dares daily until it becomes part of your natural routine. A well-rounded SELF can go out into the world and spread kindness! We will teach on the 3 steps while creating a character portfolio to walk out with. Participants will participate in relationship building introductory activities to use for a positive class culture. Participants will also learn the 3 steps to a well-rounded self while creating their own character portfolio sample to utilize in their own classrooms. Participants will also leave having created a personal mission statement and feeling motivated build up one's self and to make kindness normal.
