Author and Certified Readiologist™ Esme Raji Codell said once about her time in the classroom, “Thirty-one chances. Thirty-one futures, our futures. It’s an almost psychotic feeling, believing that part of their lives belongs to me. Everything they become, I also become. And everything about me, they helped to create.”
If you speak with any teacher, new or old, about the reasons “why” they teach – your most likely response will involve something along the lines of feeling the need, the desire, or the “call” to help develop young people. So much of what an educator does goes beyond teaching content. Life lessons bleed over into the character education lessons that we hope shape our students to move on to become successful and productive members of society. More than ever before our students are expressing that they feel isolated from real connections with families and peers. Depressive episodes and suicide rates among students ages 14 to 17 continue to climb at an alarming rate, with one in eight students aged 12 to 25 reporting in 2017 that they’ve experienced at least one major depressive episode (Heid, 2019). Students are exposed to increasingly immoral images, language, and activities at an alarmingly young age.
How can we, as educators, use character education principles to help engage our students? What are some of the most important ideas current students need to engage with and how does a student’s culture help to shape those ideas? And, even though public school educators may not be able to overtly instruct students with our faith, how does our Biblical worldview mesh with our classrooms, schools, and communities? Can character education be an important tool to engage learners, or is it a “by-gone” idea?
