Character Education

As part of CSEE's Character Education initiative,"Educating for Priorities: Building Character in Schools," CSEE is creating "models of the possible" in Independent Schools.

When comprehensive character education initiatives are implemented following research-supported guidelines, results ensue in a variety of domains, including the academic. "Educating for Priorities" aims to create (or in some cases overhaul), implement, and publicize solid and effective character education programs.

We want to revolutionize the breadth, depth, and effectiveness of character education in our schools, thus creating new models and examples for others to learn from.
