Why Educators Love The Character Tree

“I have been able to implement character traits in my classroom this year like I have not been able to in the past. Our school has always lacked good, strong character trait lessons, so when I got the chance to try Character Tree this year I was excited. As I go through the lessons with my students (ranging from Kindergarten through fifth grade), not only are they engaged but the rest of the school is noticing that they have picked up a new trait.”
-Jay Crites, School Counselor & Character Tree Subscriber
“We have really loved using the Character tree videos and lessons. I teach special education with a diverse student population. They really love the videos and I love having the worksheets and lesson plans already made so we can learn/teach as we go. There isn’t any prep that I have to do other than I have been printing the worksheets and making them into a booklet for the students so they have one for each major topic that we cover.”
-Ashley Wishard, Special Education Teacher & Character Tree Subscriber
