Daily Reinforcement
While students may learn about character during periodic assemblies or classroom lectures, it is during the rest of the school day that they actually learn character.
For example, students may learn about attentiveness at the beginning of the month, but it is not until they practice attentiveness during their regular classes, as well as outside the class, that they actually experience it.
Daily reinforcement from teachers is vital. Here are a few suggestions:
Remind students to practice attentiveness at the beginning of class.
Offer instructions as an opportunity to show obedience.
Use changes in schedule to demonstrate flexibility.
Review the quality of truthfulness before administering tests.
