Character Education Defined
| The
Character Education Partnership (CEP), a nonprofit, nonpartisan, and
nonsectarian organization that supports and promotes social, emotional,
and ethical development in youth defines character education as "the
deliberate effort by schools, families, and communities to help young
people understand, care about, and act upon core ethical values."
(1999) The Council of Chief State School Officers states that
"character education holds that certain core values form the basis of
'good character,' i.e., the kinds of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors
that the school wants from, and is therefore committed to teach to, its
children." (1997) |
