Pretend you have been asked to write a commendation celebrating your chosen teacher as an award-winning leader in the area of character education. Your paper is to be read in honor of the teacher when the award is presented.

Develop a 2-page paper that provides an example of a memorable teacher from your life. This teacher should also exemplify Lickona’s (2009) assertion: “Children need to form caring attachments to adults. These caring relationships will foster both the desire to learn and the desire to be a good person.” Focus particularly on teachers who took a moral approach to the character education they embodied in the classroom or in a coaching position. (If there is not one teacher who best exemplifies all three roles, you may present your award to a team of teachers.)

Include how your memorable teacher acted as:

An effective caregiver;

A moral model; and/or

An ethical mentor.

How has this teacher impacted your own practice as an educator?

What foundation does this work offer your thinking about your responsibilities regarding character education as a teacher?

Support your statements with evidence from the Required Studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.
