Everyone who works with children knows the value of a teachable moment. With TeRRiFiCC Teachable Moments at your fingertips, teachers and other adults can respond to character and behavior issues at a moment's notice. In this curriculum, the 75 hands-on, minds-on mini-lessons (about 10 minutes each) equip adults to help children make positive character choices at school and beyond. The activities are categorized using the Six Pillars of Character – Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship – identified by the Josephson Institute of Ethics and used in Character Counts!^SM programming. There are four curriculum offerings -- pre-k through 2^nd grade, grades 3-6, grades 7-12 and a version for families.
