Character Education

My school started a "Character Counts Initiative" about a month ago. To encourage students to appreciate and be respectful to one another, I began to use a strategy from Mr. Ron Nash (he was the speaker from the beginning of school this year) during test day. This is his suggestion: Pick 4 students to pass out paper; have students go to them and feed an appropriate compliment to get paper. Compliment: Start with whatever they want, then ask them to complement the 4 students on something that they do well.
