Character Education
Character education is an educational movement that supports the social, emotional, and ethical development of students. It is the proactive effort to help students develop important core ethical (recognizing what’s right) and performance (doing what’s right) values such as caring, honesty, diligence, fairness, fortitude, responsibility, grit, creativity, critical thinking, and respect for self and others.
Character education provides long-term solutions to moral, ethical, and academic issues that are of growing concern in our society and our schools.
Through character education, students learn how to be the best citizens they can be and how to do their best work while making school a place where students and educators feel comfortable and able to work.
