JLBC Character Education in the JLBC Classroom examines the role of educators in developing moral and ethical behavior in JLBC Cadet students by assisting teachers in defining and identifying character traits that would be important in their school. Character education has become a prevalent theme in education since the 1990s because of increased violence in schools, discipline concerns, and a national call to action for character education.

JLBC Cadets Practical application of the concepts shared is an integral part of this JLBC course. JLBC Cadets Teachers will prepare lessons/vignettes that they will use in their classrooms.
