Which would you rather have — a doctoral thesis on character education or a few down-to-earth words of help? From experience, I think you will choose the latter, so let's lay aside our educatorspeak and talk simply, Christian friend to Christian friend.
You've been asked to put character education into your curriculum, and you're looking for Christian character materials, right? You want materials that are based on the absolutes of God's Word — materials that fit passages such as Philippians 4:8 and II Peter 1:5. You want materials that are fun and effective, but you want them to honor God as well.
The Character-in-Action® Program is just what you're hunting.
Stop and think about it. Character education isn't just "another part of your curriculum." You don't order character textbooks the way you order science and history textbooks. Nor do you have the same goals. You aren't looking for a grasp of the meaning of character traits the way you look for a grasp of algebra. Students can gain a firm grasp of the meaning of character, be able to give you character quotes, and still not build character into their lives. They can watch videos on character, and sit in groups discussing character, but that isn't sufficient. This vital, life-changing part of the curriculum calls for much more, and you want much more.
That's why the Character-in-Action® Program is ideal for your character training.
- The program is based squarely on character absolutes found in God's Word.
- The program is written by a Christian with 40+ years walk with the Lord: a college Bible major, missionary, and teacher / principal.
- It is an integrated program of good books, lesson plans, classroom activities, and supplemental materials that save you time and effort.
- It instills Christian character traits into minds and hearts, and then brings those traits out into actions.
- Teachers and students both love the program, dubbing it "fun" and interesting, as proven by testimonials we constantly receive.
- Research shows changed lives — a proof of effectiveness.
- And a full guarantee backs every part of the program.
If you teach preschool or elementary school character education, you and your students will love the enchanting, non-threatening Character Companions™ Series. Baby animals set the example for one character trait each in these 32-page books.
Upper elementary and middle school character education teachers and students will appreciate the exciting Character Mystery Series. Charlie and Hailey are the role models here, as they jump in and out of trouble, learning character as they go.
High school character education teachers and their classes will be happy to use the Character-in-Action® Series. What teenager wouldn't want to read a best-selling teen romance novel like Date with Responsibility as a school assignment? But this is a best-seller based on truth, and written with Christian sensitivity.
For mature teens, or for teachers themselves, the growing Character Builder Series offers a non-fiction, self-help approach to building character. These books will help you build character so that your students can be like you. As Jesus said in Luke 6:40 "The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master."
The Character-in-Action® Program will meet your Christian school's needs, and can be catered to your specific needs. Check out your specific grade level below, and order now while you're thinking about it. You want to be ready for your classes!
