Citizenship, 9-11, and Character Education
Original
Broadcast Date:
Saturday, September 14, 10 am
Some of the values promoted within character education
are respect, responsibility, integrity and compassion. The attack
on the World Trade Center brought to surface the need to continually
further dialog and cultural understanding. So at this time of year--the
anniversary of the attacks--it is fitting that while there is reflection
and remembrance of the tragedy, we take the opportunity to talk
about increasing cultural understanding which breeds character in
all of us. The better we understand one another, the more clearly
we can see that we all have some commonalities when it comes to
the question of "what builds positive character"? Please join us
for a discussion that will help schools and families share ways
of building character in each of us.
For more information and resources on character education,
visit the North Carolina Center
for Character Education. It's something that teachers are being
encouraged to weave into their curriculum, and it's something that
parents can weave into home life.
