Implementing Effective Character Education
Five Steps to Success

Effective character education programs take a comprehensive approach that leads to an ethos of integrity throughout the organization. This course provides the knowlege and skills needed to create highly effective, sustainable programs. Key elements include:
  1. All stakeholders participate in creating and implementing the program.
  2. There is ongoing, active attention given to understanding the virtues and they are woven throughout the activities of the organization.
  3. There is the expectation that leaders and teachers are committed to modeling the behaviors they are requiring of students and employees.
  4. A climate of encouragement and caring is established, and moral behavior is noticed and appreciated.
  5. Effective programs are evaluated regularly and make continuous improvements as lessons are learned.
Avoid the pitfalls. Get detailed guidelines and step-by step instructions to help you significantly improve school climate, greatly reduce conflict and boost academic achievement.
