The Words Can Heal Character Education Curriculum
The Words Can Heal character education curriculum is a comprehensive curriculum designed to bring the Words Can Heal message into our nation's after school programs and youth centers. Its goal is to create awareness among today's youth of the power of words to hurt or to heal, and to create safe, civil learning environments. The Words Can Heal message teaches our children that they can improve their lives and their community by speaking with truth, compassion and decency. A team of educators, administrators and the Colorado-state Department of Education designed the Colorado curriculum and all related deliverables. The program has been designed to not only create awareness that what we say and how we say it matters, but to also create "behavior shift" through adoption of the Words Can Heal pledge and year-long reinforcement by parents, teachers, character committees and students themselves who work with their peers to create an environment of respectful, ethical words. The curriculum and all collateral materials-from posters, book covers, bookmarks, "Stop, Look and Listen" signs, Word Hero certificates and pledge sheets- will be available for purchase early 2007. The Words Can Heal character education curriculum presents a singular opportunity to reach the youth of today-and the leaders of tomorrow-with a message of respect, tolerance and integrity through the practice of positive speech. The curriculum teaches students to honor the "fundamental value and dignity of all individuals."
