About Us - Signs of Character

The term Character Education has been used to describe a vast number of programs, either developed at the district/school level or purchased through character education organizations, to address moral and character development among students. A successful character education program includes:

• Community participation that requires teachers, staff, students, and parents to be invested in the program and process.
  
• Character-building activities and integrated curriculum across all subject areas and grades.
  
• Recognizable values and ethical traits that can be easily identified and clearly defined by all individuals.
  
• A variety of visual reminders to promote and reinforce universal values and on-going character traits.
  
• Outcome assessment that measures the effectiveness of the character education program.
  

Universal values and character traits form the foundation of all Character Education programs. Signs of Character offers the widest selection of proven and effective reinforcement tools that promote and underline universal values and character traits in K-12 schools and youth organizations.
