More and more schools and youth groups are embrocing the concept of a character assembly to inject a little something different into the routine of the youth of today. After all, how many children and teenagers switch off when you are lecturing them about the qualities they will need later on in life? Instead of giving up on the future generations' character education, we should simply look for a different way of doing things and that is exactly what character education assemblies can offer.
We should all be committed to developing children and adolescents in order to help them achieve their goals and dreams, as well as live a happy and healthy life in today's society. By nurturing character traits, we encourage students to become successful individuals and better decision makers. By making sure they have been educated in essential ethical values, we can help them to develop and make the most of every day.
Essential ethical values that should be communicated during a character assembly include many hits that we take for granted and are lacking in society as a result. For example, the list includes respect, social responsibility, honesty, citizenship, fairness, equality and dignity. These are all core values that should be taught and instilled in every young child. However, if we neglect to teach our children about these values through character education, then what kind of character can we expect of them in the future? More importantly, what chance do they stand for making a success of their lives without basic core values?
Character education is just as important as reading, writing and arithmetic in schools and youth groups today. When planning character education activities, consider having a character assembly. There are character assemblies available that supplement and enhance most character education programs. It is our responsibility to nurture and teach the next generation so we can make the world a better place. Clichéd I know, but possible!
