Description
In their landmark book Building Character in Schools authors Kevin Ryan and Karen Bohlin provided a blueprint for educators who wanted to translate a commitment to character excellence into a school-wide vision and effort. In this companion guide to their best-selling book, the authors have created a hands-on guide for realizing that vision. Building Character in Schools Resource Guide offers school administrators and teachers a practical handbook for developing, assessing, improving, and institutionalizing character education in their schools. It is filled with real-life examples -- both successful and unsuccessful -- of character education efforts; it clearly illustrates the differences among values, virtues, and points of view; and it presents guidelines for designing effective lessons, units, assessment, and classroom activities. By implementing the book's strategic planning tools and actions steps, and using the worksheets, overheads, and discussion prompts, educators will make progress toward instilling in their students the habits and dispositions that lead to responsible adulthood.
