Based
on Medal of Honor recipients’ stories, program brings character development
into classrooms
October 27, 2014 – Georgia educators are invited to register for a Medal of Honor
Character Development Program teacher training in their region, each of which
will provide all the tools they need to bring the program into their
classrooms.
The Medal of Honor Character Development Program is an extensive
curriculum based on the oral histories of Medal of Honor recipients. It focuses
on values and teaches students to apply the recipients’ examples of courage,
commitment, sacrifice, integrity, citizenship and patriotism to influence
change in their own communities.
Teachers and administrators from middle and high schools across
all districts are invited to attend. Attendees will receive the full curriculum
kit at no cost, participate in model lessons, and learn best practices for
their classrooms. Substitute teacher costs can be reimbursed to the district or
school.
“The Medal of Honor program is an incredible resource for
Georgia teachers, and a firm foundation for our students, who grow strong in
character as they learn from some of the stories of courage and resolve that
built our nation,” Superintendent Dr. John Barge said.
