Character Education
The tradition of storytelling provides a means for students, classrooms, families, and communities to encourage character education and development. Stories serve as vehicles for identifying, shaping, and teaching ethical behavior for they call upon listeners to identify and consider choices in order to resolve embedded ethical dilemmas. Stories help shape community behaviors, values, and virtues.
Schools and other educational communities often employ stories to support their character education programs. These programs extend beyond the confines of the language arts curriculum to all academic and extracurricular subjects and activities.
