Professional Development Curr. R es. Publications Prof. Dev. ... Consulting The development of character is a perennial concern. In response to social changes, character education has undergone various incarnations. The CAEC promotes a timeless, proactive and comprehensive approach, and considers character formation a lifelong enterprise. The CAEC offers three types of professional development programs: Teachers Academies Mini-Academies CAEC Institutes The Teachers Academy A five-day intellectual retreat for educators, the Teachers Academy invites participants to engage in dialogue, reflection and writing about selected great texts and to apply them to curricular and school-wide character education. The Academy answers three questions: 1. What is character education anyway? In addition to providing an intellectual history of character education, CAEC Scholars introduce participants to the Internalizing Virtue Framework. This Framework is based on the premise that educators can and should help students move from an awareness of virtue to the internalization of good dispositions. 2.

For Journalists U.Va. President Cited For Leadership In Encouraging Character Development Nov. 9, 1999 University of Virginia President John T. Casteen III is among 50 college and university presidents recognized for their outstanding leadership in student character development in "The Templeton Guide: Colleges that Encourage Character Development," published last month. Designed for students, parents and educators, "The Templeton Guide" names 100 colleges and universities to its honor roll of programs that inspire students to lead ethical and civic-minded lives. It also contains profiles of 405 exemplary college programs and recognizes 50 college presidents for their leadership. U.Va. is one of the institutions named to the Templeton Honor Roll. "In truth, this honor belongs to the entire University, and to the families whose daughters and sons are our students," said Casteen. "Working together with students, helping them develop strong values, demonstrating that personal ethics and public actions grow from the same sources — this is important work for us all. It holds this place together as a community. We teach one another, and we learn from one another, and many of the most important lessons are lessons in personal and civic responsibility."

Scouting for Boys Ann Erekson, a camp guide last summer at the American Heroes Cub Scout Day Camp, took a group of Cub Scouts to their next station: Firemen. After pointing out that firemen go into burning buildings to save people, she asked the boys which character trait made firemen heroes. "I have the boys guess what the value at their station is, then I ask them what they think that value means and how it could apply to them," said Erekson, 16, one of the camp staff at the Tracy Scout Reservation of the

As incidents of in-school violence become more common, and strict disciplinary techniques and increased security measures fail to control the problem, many parents, educators, politicians, and social leaders are looking for reliable methods of prevention. Is character education the answer? "We in the business world don't want young people coming into our employment and into our communities who are brilliant, but dishonest; who have great intellectual knowledge, but don't really care about others; who have highly creative minds, but are irresponsible. All of us in business and the entire adult community need to do our part in helping build young people of high character. There isn't a more critical issue in education today." - Sanford N. McDonnell, Chairman emeritus of the former McDonnell Douglas Corporation.

Supporting Schools as True Communities of Character Testimony Before the House Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Youth and Families Statement by Diane G. Berreth, Ed.D Deputy Executive Director Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) Wednesday, March 1, 2000 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee: I appreciate the opportunity to appear before you today. I am presenting the views of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) a non-profit, non-partisan organization that represents educators in the classroom, in administration, and in higher education. ASCD is a unique organization in that our 165,000 members do not coalesce around specific professional interests or role groups. We are united around one issuedelivering the best, most effective educational approaches in the classroom, in the schools, and in educational leadership at all levels. In this regard, we frequently seek out and adopt broad-based positions and perspectives on many of the issues and problems facing education today. ASCD is a strong supporter of character education because it helps unite the two primary goals of education defined by Socrates some 2,400 years ago: It helps students be good as well as be smart. Since the publication of the landmark report, "A Nation at Risk," 17 years ago, school reform has been high on the agendas of educators and policymakers. Yet, the reform movement has focused almost solely on "being smart," that is, the academic aspects of schooling. The balance in the purposes of schooling has been lost. We can reform schools academically, but if we create a nation of students who do not understand, care about, or act upon core ethical values–we fail.

REFOCUSING OUR ATTENTION ON CHARACTER EDUCATION IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM Gene R. Carter Israel ASCD Jerusalem, Israel October 21, 1999 As we approach the new millennium, educators worldwide are continuing their quest to reshape education to develop new approaches to teaching and learning that are more appropriate and effective for the 21st century. Our rapidly changing world demands an education system that equips children with the tools and skills they will need to succeed. Character education may hold the key to connecting future generations with themselves, their communities, and democratic society at large. At the brink of the 21st century, people have again begun to talk about the importance of character and personal integrity. They are bringing back into focus the need for something more stable and deeper. Voices from within and beyond our schools are calling for character education. But Thomas Lickona aptly reminds us that "as we address character education, it is important to remember that character education is not a new idea. It is an idea as old as education itselfindeed the school's most important mission." The need for reaffirming and instilling our collective values in an increasingly complex world brought on widespread reflection and introspection toward the end of the 20th century.
