Author, Educating for Character
The spectrum of questions and
issues addressed by Cultivating Heart and Character: Educating for
Life’s Most Essential Goals includes:
- Why does character education
need to be a priority in schools and families?
- What is comprehensive or
school-wide character education?
- What universal principles
inform moral growth and healthy relationships?
- In what ways are family
roles important for lifelong emotional and moral development?
- What relational skills and
character strengths are needed to form good families?
- How can parents and teachers
guide youth to make proper choices about substance abuse, sexuality
and conflict resolution?
- How can schools and parents
forge viable partnerships with communities to provide children with
the assets they need to live fulfilled and useful lives?
This book reflects the experience
and assistance of educators and experts from a variety of backgrounds
from all around the world. Thus, it provides a cross-cultural perspective.
Incorporating both meaning and method, Cultivating Heart and Character
will interest anyone who cares about a better future and the people who
will help create it.
