Each unit touches on every aspect of building a student's character,
making each individual into a better person which will stick with them throughout their
whole life. This is about the best character education program I've seen. I have other
books that are not as great. Thank you.
Colorado
Positive in approach, high interest.
Great program topics. What topics are available in the full
set of your program?
Louisiana
Activities, examples, situations, all enjoyable, interesting. A great
program.
Good relative lessons dealing with common situations.
It's not too time consuming. Teachers have an extreme amount
of paper work to do on a daily basis already. Therefore, any extra programs can pile up
and not be used.
It provides structure and routine in learning character
traits.
Good exercises enforcing good behavior.
Very good exercises and examples of practicing good behavior
Helps in getting children to understand ownership and respect
for things that do not belong to them
It brings awareness of ownership and showing respect for
authority.
The videos show actual people's stories about how violence
changed their lives. My students talked about their stories for days after seeing the
video.
The videos gave great advice and ways to work toward peaceful
solutions. Should be done weekly throughout the year.
The film and discussions help the students relate to problems
they may be having socially and may help shy students cope.
Education of our young people is the most important tool to
increasing the welfare of our schools.

Good program.
It teaches student to think of consequences before acting
out. I feel that the PSCEP is a very good all-around program.
The majority of the classroom behaviors showed some
improvement. The use of realistic situations to teach peaceful solution to a specific
problem.
It teaches children to respect other people in a way that
they understood. I would like to do this at the beginning of the school year, then again
at the end.
The poems and songs instilled more of an interest since these
are 3rd grade children. They always need a variety of learning materials.
Teaches kids to take responsibility for their actions;
variety of activities that are on their level.

Teaching children right and wrong of life solutions. I didn't
see any weak points with the program. I think all of the lessons were quite helpful.
