Character
Education
Learning for Life: Learning for Life is
an educational program designed to meet the needs of
youth and schools. It helps young people deal with
the many challenges of growing up by teaching good
character and decision-making and then linking these
skills to the real world. Learning for Life has
age-appropriate, grade-specific Teachers' Guides for
Kindergarten through grade 12. The lesson plans
reinforce language arts, science, math and social
studies and are written clearly, concisely and
completely, so very little or no preparation is
needed for implementation. To see a sample table
of contents, view a specific lesson plan or learn
more about our programs, please visit
