**************
A HERO IS SOMEONE WHO DOES SOMETHING SPECIAL TO HELP OTHERS. EVERY HERO STARTS AS A CHILD, AND EVERY CHILD CAN CHOOSE TO BECOME A HERO... JUST LIKE THIS ONE!
Langston Hughes was born in Joplin, Missouri in 1902, but all through his childhood, he and his mother lived in a lot of different cities. Langston was a good student in school, and while he enjoyed many things, he loved writing poetry the most. He began writing seriously when he was in the eighth grade, so by the time he was a young man, he was very, very good at it.
Some of Langston s poems were happy, and some were sad, but all of his poems were about the hard life that black people faced in the early nineteen-hundreds. Eventually, Langston moved to Harlem, a part of New York City where only black people lived. He loved Harlem very much and wrote a lot about it. He loved the people; he loved their music, and all their special talents. Over time, people like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and many others had HELPED provide opportunities for the people in places like Harlem, and others all over the country who had been treated so badly. Many used those opportunities to make better lives for themselves and their families. But many turned to drugs and fighting, thinking that would give them a better life. Langston knew those things would ruin lives, not make them better, so he wrote about that, too. Langston Hughes also wrote many books, and even plays that showed his love for people and how they lived. He became very famous, and he became a HERO to people everywhere who cared about how we treat each other and how we all try to make better lives for our families and our neighbors. Yes, that little boy named Langston Langston Hughes, who loved writing so much grew up to be a very special HERO.
THAT'S WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THIS HERO, AND I KNOW THAT YOU CAN BE A HERO TOO!
Dear Parents,
After years of development, trial, and revision, we are so excited to now share with you the most effective version yet of our Proactive Bully Prevention Program that has proven to "change the culture" at hundreds of campuses across America in profound ways. Research has shown the TCN Method™ to be the single most effective school based Violence and Bully Prevention Intervention of its entire genre. We have hundreds of testimonials from educators describing the results they have gotten, and you can view many of these at www.TheCharacterNetwork.org/Testimonials [http://www.thecharacternetwork.org/Testimonials]
This program, The Beginning of a Famous Hero™ is used in conjunction with a companion program called Bully Alert!™ in schools played over the intercom during morning announcements twice or more each school week, and backed up by a common culture which reinforces the principles taught, at every turn, and incorporates the phrases of the academic language during any teachable moment.
These two sets of stories work together to convey a common academic language which says, “A bully is a person who hurts others on purpose (even if it’s just hurting their feelings) but a HERO is a person who HELPS others. So CHOOSE to be a HERO by HELPING instead of a bully by hurting.”
They also promote the concept of POSITIVE PERSONAL VISION, helping each student to realistically visualize his or her own "Future Self," and in doing so help relate consequences of actions and attitudes today (good or bad) to that future self.
It is the spaced repetition of these principles that makes the program effective. It is the 100% turn-key presentation that makes it easy!
This program takes VIRTUALLY NO TIME (only 4 minutes a week!) away from classroom instruction. But it also provides a common language across the entire campus when teachable moments occur!
The TCN Method has been extraordinarily successful in the past, in almost a thousand schools all across America, from California to New York, with a special concentration all over Texas, where The Character Network is based, and has been used to the benefit of well over a million students across the past two decades.
Then Covid struck, with the majority of schools ceasing in classroom instruction altogether for the majority of the previous school year, and after years of successful growth, we found ourselves in the very difficult situation of having to rebuild almost from scratch. So we started a morning podcast to help make the principles and teachings of TCN available to kids to have at home… but we need help from parents like you to get the word out, and also to help us gather financial support to once again make the method available again to not just the schools we lost due to Covid, but to every school and every child who could benefit and needs this going forward.
We invite you to become a coworker with us on our mission. Please start by visiting us at www.Patreon.com/theCharacterNetwork [http://www.patreon.com/theCharacterNetwork] and considering becoming a sponsor for this work, and then dropping us a line at info@thecharacternetwork.org [info@thecharacternetwork.org] so we can learn more about you. Thank you so much!
