Character and Community Development: A School Planning and Teacher Training Handbook (Paperback)

Character and Community Development: A School Planning and Teacher Training Handbook Book Description

This book provides the conceptual, theoretical, and methodological foundation that teachers, principals, professors and students preparing for teaching will need in order to be informed and effective planners of character education programs and good character educators. Through its clear definition of terms, review of Constitutional and public support, comparative analysis of philosophical approaches, synthesis of many relevant theories of child development, K-12 core curriculum, description of many instructional strategies, and methodology for program evaluation, this handbook effectively prepares prospective program planners and character educators to create comprehensive programs that are developmentally appropriate, adapted to the unique needs and characteristics of school communities, and soundly evaluated. Dr. Vessels presents a wide range of options, developmental and practical guidelines for choosing from among these options, and a creative core curriculum and evaluation technology that he hopes school community members will find useful for their particular school or system.
