Description
Book SynopsisThis practical text on implementing character education provides school leaders with an effective road map, touring schools that have achieved success.
Trade ReviewEd DeRoche and Mary Williams have quickly become front-runners in the field of educational training for character education. This book fills a significant gap in the literature—namely, school leadership for character education. It is a natural outcome of their work in establishing the first graduate degree program in character education, instituting one of the first training academies in character education for school administrators, and publishing a comprehensive primer on character education. This book not only addresses the topic of leadership....but integrates it with their general model. Furthermore, it is extremely comprehensive, includes excellent material on teaching for character education (another neglected area in the field), and provides an impressively extensive set of resources and references. -- Marvin W. Berkowitz, Ph.D., Sanford N. McDonnell Professor of Character Education, University of Missouri, St. Louis
