Eleven Principles of Effective Character Education:

⊕ Promotes core ethical and performance values

⊕ Teaches students to understand, care about, and act upon these core values ⊕ It encompasses all aspects of the school culture.

⊕ Fosters a caring school community

⊕ Provides opportunities for moral action

⊕ Supports academic achievement

⊕ Develops intrinsic motivation

⊕ Includes whole-staff involvement

⊕ Requires positive leadership of staff and students

⊕ Involves parents and community members

⊕ Assesses results and strives to improve Character education has always been an essential part of our school’s mission.

In fact, since the founding of our nation’s public schools, character development was always an integral part of schooling along with academics. Today’s character education movement is a re-emergence of that vital mission.

Character education teaches the habits of thought and deeds that help people live and work together as families, friends, neighbors, communities, and nations. Additionally, character education is a learning process that enables students and adults in the school community to understand, care about, and act on core ethical values such as respect, justice, civic virtue, citizenship, and responsibility for self and others. Upon such core values, we form the attitudes and actions that are the hallmark of safe, healthy, and informed communities that serve as the foundation of our society.

For the month of November the Character Education word is Citizenship. Citizenship is being a member of and supporting one's community and country.
