The Parent/Community Connection in the Classroom: Connecting your classroom to parents, community, and character education

This book is a guide to be used by parents and members of the community for teaching character education lessons in the classroom. The simple lesson outlines and corresponding activity ideas make teaching character fun and easy. Recruiting parents and community members (e.g., businesses, faith and youth organizations) to teach monthly 30-minute lessons will increase the effectiveness of your school’s character education initiative. Everyone benefits-the home, school, and community-when basic core values are supported.
