Helping Middle and High School Students Develop Strong Character
Integrity, emotional security, self-discipline, determination, and initiative are just some of the necessary skills students need to succeed both in and out of school. Unfortunately, many students aren't developing them today. What if there was a straightforward way to teach students integrity and other essential character education skills?
