Part 3 - Teaching Resources

I'm posting old Members' Library Home Page articles here to serve as an archive. This one was first published March 6, 2009, at http://members.characterfirst.com.

In the Character First! Model of character implementation, Step 1 is Leadership Training, Step 2 is Character Recognition, and Step 3 is Teaching Resources. Here’s how the Members’ Library supports you with teaching resources.

Who do you teach? Your children? Students? Direct reports at work? Don’t treat character as a separate topic, but use every teaching situation to point out the character necessary for success in that area. Life itself is a process of learning character through experiences and relationships. Teaching resources can bring many more options to your character program, and the Members’ Library supplies lots of materials and ideas for that purpose.

- What concepts or traits do you want to focus on or get everyone thinking about? Browse the library to find the precise ideas you want to communicate.

- Do you have just the right story, example, or picture to get the point across? Do you fully understand this aspect of good character? The Members’ Library has materials specially tailored for work, home, different age groups, leadership, employees, quick glances, and thoughtful pondering.

- Remember the character qualities by watching each video, printing posters, making a craft with your children, or setting your computer desktop wallpaper.

This article is the third in a four-part series on using the Members’ Library.
