Character Counts
The Character Counts Program (Preschool- Gr. 9)
is intentional, conscious, planned, pro-active,
organized, and reflective character development.
As such it promotes
three learning domains:
Cognitive Objectives enhance the ability to perceive
and understand the moral dimension of behavior
as well as to make ethical decisions. Students
should be able to:
| - |
Define and recognize the traits and conduct
associated with good character.

| - |
Evaluate their options in terms of the principles
embodied in Six Pillars of character.
|
| - |
Predict and understand the likely consequences
of their choices on others and themselves.

students to engage in an ethical decision making
process by reflecting on their actions so that their
response becomes automatically ethical.
