RESPECTFUL, CARING, FAIR , RESPONSIBLE and HONEST.

2013 Communicator Award of Distinction

The Building Character with Kelso curriculum is a powerful tool to develop positive character traits in elementary-aged students. The program is based on the highly acclaimed and successful model of the KELSO’S CHOICE, CONFLICT MANAGEMENT KIT. In this character education kit, Kelso keeps students interested while helping them understand and develop positive character traits to succeed socially and academically.

The curriculum contains differentiated instruction for lower and upper elementary students while keeping language consistent throughout all grade levels. Students are introduced to each trait by identifying what it looks, sounds and feels like. As the lessons progress, students develop a more complex understanding of what it means to have good character. Diverse lesson styles cater to visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners while being engaging and fun!

• Differentiated instruction for lower elementary and upper elementary students
• Develop social skills and increase academic success
• 30-minute lesson plans
• Engaging for student and instructor!
