Teaching Resources

Character Education is a fundamental part of a curriculum that supports, encourages, and even inspires kids. We feel that real-life human examples serve very well as a method to relate to kids what they actually can achieve - by giving positive role models and stories of real accomplishments. We have created a powerful tool with The Heroes Club trading cards, available as recognition, rewards, and/or reminders. The cards themselves have even greater impact when they are integrated into a course or activity. These resources are intended to help you create the courses and activities that work for you and your kids.
