Research suggests a correlation between the teaching of character education of youth and its positive ethical results throughout the United States. While these findings demonstrate positive changes experienced by youth audiences, no research to date has been conducted on the effects that teaching Character Counts! has on those teaching the program. The research project reported here examined Character Counts! Program's impact on Cooperative Extension and on the personal and societal lives of Extension educators and assistants. In a recent survey of 20,829 high school and middle school students conducted by the Josephson Institute of Ethics (1997) found the following.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC This ERIC Digest explores (1) the various definitions of and approaches to character education; (2) divergent points of view on character education in the schools; and (3) sample character education programs. DEFINITIONS AND APPROACHES. "Character education" is an umbrella term used to describe many aspects of teaching and learning for personal development. Some areas under this umbrella are "moral reasoning/cognitive development"; "social and emotional learning"; "moral education/virtue"; "life skills education"; "caring community"; "health education"; "violence prevention"; "conflict resolution/peer mediation" and "ethic/moral philosophy" (Character Education Partnership 1999, 3). As indicated by the variety of terms associated with it, character education is broad in scope and difficult to define precisely. Character education treats various aspects of moral education, civic education, and character development. Its multi-faceted composition makes character education a difficult concept to address in schools. Each component provides a slightly different slant on what is important, and what should be taught.

ERIC Digest. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC RECENT TRENDS IN VALUES EDUCATION There has been a renewal of concern during the 1990s about teaching and learning valuesstandards that everyone should have about what is good or bad. And leading educators have recommended stories about heroes as a main means of teaching and learning values. Teaching methods that stress only cognitive skills in the analysis and clarification of choices about values have fallen from favor. The current trend is against teaching neutrally about values. Rather, the trend is for teaching values in concert with methods of analysis and judgment that yield answers about right and wrong, better and worse concerning personal behavior and the common good (Leming 1996). Why and how should role models and heroes be used to teach values?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - February 28, 2003 CONTACT: Jason Mucher , Media Relations (585) 567-9559 LECTURER TO PRESENT ON CHARACTER-DEVELOPMENT THROUGH SPORT HOUGHTON, N.Y. – With all the problems related to fan violence at athletic contests and the behavior of athletes on and off the field of play, the need to develop character in our nation’s young athletes has never been more obvious. Recognizing this need, Houghton College has invited Bruce Brown, a national presenter on character-development through sport, to speak to its student-athletes, coaches, and community in a variety of sessions on Tuesday, March 11. Mr. Brown’s presentation at 7 p.m. in Wesley Chapel is free and open to the public. Area high school coaches, student-athletes, and parents are encouraged to attend. Mr. Brown, athletics director at Northwest College in Kirkland, Wash., is a national speaker for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and its “Champions of Character” program.

SEE includes all three domains (knowing, feeling, and action) within workshops for the purpose of modeling teaching activities and suggesting character education strategies.

37. Helping Teachers Teach Well: Transforming Professional Development Policy Brief Helping teachers teach Well Transforming guidelines for the design,character, conduct, and content of professional development, based on http://www.ed.gov/pubs/CPRE/t61/t61d.html

CPRE Policy Brief: Helping Teachers Teach Well: Transforming Professional Development - June 1995 Improving Professional Development A number of organizations have proposed setting standards for teachers' professional development. The guiding principles behind these ideas are summarized in the sidebar in the previous section. Standards might help improve the quality and efficiency of professional development. However, while these proposals are useful for discussion, it is important that state and local policymakers engage teachers in the process of setting standards for states or districts. Teachers have a great deal of insight into what has made professional development effective or ineffective in the past, and will be more likely to support changes to the current system if they have been a significant part of the improvement process. Promising Policy Options To make professional development more effective and more consistent with the guiding principles outlined in the sidebar in the previous section, policymakers need to be clear about the problems they are trying to solve and about the conditions under which teachers are likely to change their practice. They must also be more concerned about the quality and character of experiences provided for teachers. And, given the scarcity of resources, they must strive to be efficient, to leverage additional resources, and to make full use of expertise already in the system. Fortunately, some policymakers and practitioners have come up with new approaches that are promising, though we know little about their costs or effects as yet.
