MAXIMize the Moment

For Schools:
MAXIMize the Moment
MAXIMize the Moment Junior

MAXIMize the Moment (for middle and high schools) and MAXIMize the Moment Junior (for use with students in third to sixth grades) are character education tools available to middle and high schools throughout the United States via the ethics.org website.

MAXIMize the Moment messages use your homeroom announcements to stress good character in ways students will remember. Reinforce your character education efforts with materials suitable for any school, in any community.

Each lesson contains:

• A maxim;
• A brief discussion of a situation or event relevant to the maxim;
• An explanation of related character traits;
• A set of links to websites about the maxim's author or the week's issue; and,
• A set of questions for teacher and student discussion.
