1. What age is your ideal audience?
It's Good 2B Good for Students works most
effectively for 5th and 6th graders – those who are about to enter or who have just entered middle school.
It's Good 2B Good for Teachers works best with teachers of students in grades 1-6.
It's Good 2B Good for Parents works best with parents of children between the ages of 3-12.
2. What size is your typical audience?

3. How long are your programs?
It's Good 2B Good for Students is 3 hours, ideally formatted into 3 one-hour sessions on 3 consecutive days.
Sometimes flexibility is required and I am willing to work with a school or organization on that.
It's Good 2B Good for Parents is 90 minutes.
It's Good 2B Good for Teachers is 90 minutes, but can be done in an abbreviated form for teacher conferences
and workshops.
4. We already include ethics and values or character education in our
curriculum. How will your program add to our existing efforts?
Many schools include ethics and values (or character education) in their school curriculum. Although students
may be learning this material in their classrooms, many, if not most, are unable to translate what they learn
into their practical everyday lives. My program provides a bridge for students helping them to incorporate
what they learn in the classroom into their daily behavior. It provides a strong motivation for them to be
more kind, caring and compassionate in their daily interactions with the people in their lives.
5. What makes your program different from other character education programs?
Most character education programs focus on how to be a good person. The entire focus of my program is: why be
a good person? Using the latest cutting edge scientific research combined with inspiring stories, games,
activities, discussion and a heartfelt message from someone who is passionate about convincing kids to be
good people, I believe your students' lives will be changed more powerfully than other programs on the market.
