Centre for Character and Leadership

Educators in our schools does a great job! They teach. They transfer knowledge. They control behavior. They manage classrooms. They engineer development of positive school culture. But above all, they educate for good character and human flourishing. #Values #Character

Cultivate patience.

If you cannot fly, then run. If you cannot run, then walk. If you cannot walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way. —Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Great teachers have high expectations for their students, but higher expectations for themselves.

The Centre for Character and Leadership in partnership with the @eacables and other education stakeholders donated over 2000 tree seedlings to 17 Primary Schools in Machakos County through the "adopt a tree and tag a virtue" initiative. @KEMI_KENYA

Everything you give to your Ss matters. ❤️

The "adopt a tree and tag a virtue" initiative is promising practice that it's helpful towards nurturing of virtues. Learners with the help of a teacher as a mentor, they are engaged in a tree planting activity where they tag & nurture virtues as they take care of the trees.

'The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.' MLK Jr.

Leadership sets the ceiling.

'Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved,' Helen Keller.

The Centre Director for Character Education Program, Peter Kingori recently participated in a panel session on "Building Global Networks for Character and Flourishing" along with other scholars during the Jubilee Centre Annual Conference at Oriel College, Oxford, UK.

The best team doesn’t always win — it’s usually the team that gets along best.

Quote of the week 'The ultimate aim of character education is the development of good sense or practical wisdom: the capacity to choose intelligently between alternatives.’
