PROPOSAL
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this program is to create a character and confidence
program for a high school. In our culture today, it is difficult for students to
develop positive character traits to develop confident young men and
women. Many students come from broken homes where they are lacking
either a male or female parent in their life. Unfortunately, some students are
often being raised on the morality of the different media that they view.
Often, that media promotes negative character traits and negative selfesteem. The purpose of this program is to provide our young men and
women in high schools, a solid set of moral traits and character traits to help
them become fundamentally solid citizens in the classroom and in society.
These character traits will promote confident individuals that understand
their role in relationships and in their family. A further result of this program
is that positive character traits should further reduce the amount of bullying
that occurs in school.
Program Rationale
Most anti-bullying programs for schools are more reactive than
proactive. Through videos, posters, and assemblies, anti-bullying programs
try to encourage students to treat each other in a way that they would like to
be treated. The anti-bullying programs often provide safe ways for students
to report any bullying that they witness to school officials. The school
officials then try to work with the bully and the bullied to correct the negative
Research Base
The research base of this program will examine some of the existing
research on bullying in our schools. What are some of the positive aspects of
anti-bullying programs that have had success in schools and how can they be
used in the character development program? Along with research in
bullying, the program will examine any existing research on character
development programs in high schools. Are there character development
programs that have had measured success in developing positive character
and what can be used in the proposed character development program? The
character development program will rely on books and other resources that
could provide a set of solid moral traits and character traits that will form the
framework of the character development program.
