Working With Our Hands: The Importance Of Vocational Education

Category: Character Education

"What the country needs are a few labor-making inventions."~ Arnold Glasow

My wife Girija and I recently visited the Olcott Memorial High School in Chennai. We were shown around by the director, Ms. Lakshmi Suryanarayanan, a highly committed and energetic 60-year-young lady brimming with ideas on how to make the school better.

We were especially impressed with the crafts section, where the students not only learnt crafts like tailoring, jewelry making, and screen, but also sold their products in the annual Theosophical Society exhibitions. Set up in 1894 by the President and Founder of the Theosophical Society, Col. H.S. Olcott, the school is committed to uplifting the lower castes by providing them free education and the dignity of the skilled working life.

Dealing With Criticism, Guilt and Shame in the Classroom

Category: Character Education

When you think of shame, what comes to your mind? How about guilt? Many people associate shame and guilt as one emotion, but in reality they are very different. By definition, guilt is the "I have done someting bad" emotion. By contrast, shame is the "I am bad" emotion. As you continue reading, consider how your actions can impact guilt or shame in a child. Ask yourself if there may be ways to change these emotions into success for your students.

Shame is felt when others are aware of our incorrect intentions or actions and can often lead to feelings of worthlessness. Guilt, on the other hand, is the emotion that is felt when no one else knows about our intentions or actions. I clarify this because it makes a noticeable difference to the person making the choice. The difference between success and failure in dealing with our classroom management can depend on our perception of these two emotions.

Why Can't Character Ed End Your Classroom Management Nightmares?

Category: Character Education

Character ed is becoming more and more popular in schools all over the U.S. But in our workshops around the country, more and more educators and counselors are complaining that character ed is not the solution for every youngster. They want to know what is wrong with character ed approaches.

First, let's make sure you know what character ed is. Character ed approaches attempt to use character-building to ensure or engender appropriate behavior. A character ed approach to bullying might require that the bully apologize and make amends to the victim of the bullying, for example. Character ed methods essentially use a single force to elicit satisfactory conduct. The logic is that by building character, conscience and moral values, students' behavior can be improved or maintained at a satisfactory level.

Character Education

Category: Character Education

Every parent wants their child to develop positive character traits. One way to supplement your child's character education is to act as a filter for the movies and television shows your child watches, and to review the books your child reads.

The following categories are modeled after "The Book of Virtues for Young People," an excellent book for children in its own right, written by William Bennett. When developing a curriculum of character education for your child, it's helpful to review each children's book, television show, and movie for both positive and negative examples of each of the ten virtues outlined in "The Book of Virtues for Young People." The stronger the message, the more it will contribute to your child's character education.
