Document Summary
Character education is an umbrella term loosely used to describe the teaching of children in a manner that will help them develop variously as moral, civic, good, mannered, behaved, non-bullying, healthy, critical, successful, traditional beings. As well as complaint or socially acceptable beings. If you teach moral education, students will act upon it in classroom and day to day life. To have a successful education system, teachers must argue about structure. Teachers should agree about philosophy of teaching. Schooling is controlled by the reaction of teachers and the school system. Progressive education: need to learn by doing. Humans learn from a hands on approach. Child center approach: places learning on the needs of children. Teacher is more of a facilitator than someone who teaches. Students are able to move around the classroom and focus on their own thoughts and ideas. Teacher is equally as important as the students.
