Abstract | How do children become moral people, and what role do schools have in that process? In this conversation, Ethics Center Executive Director Kirk O. Hanson discusses the issues with Director of Character Education Steve Johnson Kirk O. Hanson: Steve, let me begin with a simple question: What is character education? Steve Johnson: Schools have always been interested in three kinds of outcomes: Sometimes character is talked about in terms of citizenship. When I was in school, we used the term deportment. But whatever we call it, as educators, we've always been interested in building positive, productive citizens. |
Notes | This is a very interesting article about character development in schools which also can apply to everyday life. There are also other articles about character development on this website. |
