540 character-based daily lessons that focus on important traits such as honesty, fairness, kindness, and responsibility. Launching from a pertinent quotation, each week's lessons focus on one trait, with activities that relate to or build upon other lessons of the week. Some traits have several weeks of lessons.

These idea-packed lessons help any teacher incorporate character education into the curriculum, with or without a schoolwide character education program. Each level (six through eight) has thirty-six weeks of lessons, and each week has five lessons. The weekly lessons include an appropriate quotation, the character trait being emphasized, and the activity, materials needed,and evaluation for each day.

The authors of this comprehensive book spent years developing and testing these character education lessons. They bring to their lessons firsthand knowledge of how much a classroom benefits from helping children learn respect and kindness.
