Character Corner: Why is character education important?

The Six Pillars of Character focus on the following four aspects of character:

Moral Character: The qualities that help us be our best self, including trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.

Performance Character: The qualities that help us do our best work, including self-discipline, diligence, organization, and confidence.

Intellectual Character: The skills and traits needed to be a motivated and committed learner, critical thinker, and creative problem solver, including curiosity, intellectual autonomy, humility, and open-mindedness.

Civic Character: The skills and traits needed to be an ethical, engaged citizen who demonstrates leadership, teamwork, civility, and creates positive change in their community.

Edward R. Andrews Elementary School uses The Six Pillars of Character (https://charactercounts.org/), Capturing Kids' Hearts, and Project Wisdom to help develop students positive character and foster positive social-emotional skills.
