This book is for all types of learners and teachers at any grade level, K-12. The book is excellent for any classroom, including those addressing special education, differentiated instruction, and interactive learning, or where there’s active engagement and attention to varied perceptual preferences and learning differences. A classroom that optimizes student achievement through collaborative relationship building is given a good deal of attention with activities focusing on mindfulness and determination through persistence. The book’s premise is the classroom, for optimum learning, needs to be a place of comfort. Modeling/living the six international traits of a person of good character (caring, fair, responsible, trustworthy, respectful and good citizenship) is vital, especially in the educational setting. Practical strategies for character building and conversing with others are provided. Living by two ideas: No put downs, only lift ups for oneself and others, and realizing “being enough,” is exactly what you are.

Being a person of good character, as well as the teacher serving as an important role model in that regard, is the underlining theme of this How-to-book. Dr. Schiering clearly outlines the steps one needs to take to establish a highly effective Character Education program in the classroom, a school-wide program, or workplace. In her guide she offers concrete step-by-step procedures for leading training workshops to accomplish this goal. She begins by explaining how to build self-acceptance and respect for others and then offers many specific activities to promote a caring, fair, and responsible person who becomes a good citizen. The book is also filled with anecdotes to further help the reader toward a better understanding of the ideas presented by the author. With an emphasis on creating more caring, responsible and fair-minded citizens, one cannot deny the timeliness of this book.
