For the last two weeks you've gotten lesson plans and materials to teach basic character education for Burnet. You and your class should have defined problems and solutions that teachers and students on campus face; you should have generated some basic core values and a result statement, and you should have come up with student roles and responsibilities. Your students should know the purpose of advisory as well.
If none of this has happened so far, perhaps you are approaching the problem of character education in your own way. Hopefully you've generated the same basic results. If not, please make it so. Walk-throughs will be happening. Our program will not accomplish very much if we do not follow it, so we will begin collecting the data that shows we are following it.
This week we are continuing with our theme of basic remedial character education. We will define respect and we will model respect with a social skills review.
This lesson plan, social skills review, and PowerPoint will feel to the students as if you are just lecturing them unless you allow the students themselves to lead the lesson plan. This may be difficult at first: kids will be goofy and it might seem like nothing gets accomplished. But this is a practice and will have good results over time. They need to be responsible for their own learning sometimes. So please facilitate one or two students as leaders who will introduce the lesson and decide how best to teach it. Some suggestions for how to do this are included in the lesson plan.
