Values
Fostered
Before you implement
any character education program, it
is important to determine if the values being fostered (1) correspond
to the values your community has agreed to foster, or (2) represent
values your community can agree to foster. There are enough messages
in each of our series to allow for some selectivity. You can choose
not to broadcast some messages, while emphasizing or repeating others.
When you examine the
list of values below, it is important to think about the meaning
of these values and remember that values overlap and even duplicate.
For example, civility contains within it the values of courtesy
and politeness. Self-discipline implies responsible
behavior and diligence. Responsibility connotes
reliability, trustworthiness, and dependability.
Prudence is synonymous with good judgment, and so
on.

Excerpt
from Contents Page, Series 1
We provide titles
and subtitles for the daily messages.
This supports educators searching for a message dealing with a specific
issue rather than a specific value. For example, a message titled
"Peer Pressure" might address the value of moral courage,
which is oftentimes needed to resist negative peer pressure. The
