Artifacts and Characteristics of the Novice Teacher #3
We believe that the novice teacher should recognize that teaching is a professional, moral, and ethical enterprise, should understand moreal issues and ethical practices in educational environments, and should have developed ethical frameworks which facilitate effective teaching. The artificat I chose to use to represent this characteristic is my Character Education Lesson Plan from our Classroom Management class. I have developed a lesson plan on Citizenship for 6th graders, in which they learn that a good citizen does everything they can to help out their community. In order to illustrate that they are aware of what a good citizen is, they well identify problems in their community such as poverty and litter and write a skit about how to help solve that problem. I think that its important that teachers educate children on how to be ethical and moral, otherwise they might not ever be taught!

Lisa, I think that as students enter into middle school it is very important for them to remember the importance of morals, including citizenship. I think having lessons on character education is a great way to help remind and teach our students life skills. This was a great choice for this chracteristic!
