1 Pre Germany Good Character Traits

GOOD CHARACTER QUALITIES (by Bill Stevenson) Note: I developed this list after I indexed a three volume anthology using A.C.E.'s 60 character traits and studying Bill Gothard's list of 36 character traits. Then I successfully used this list along with emphasizing the "Golden Rule" for positive classroom control in a 6th grade class. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31.
