Book Description
Contemporary schools require far more than just "the three R's". Beyond the books and tests, educational facilities are expected to produce members of society with integrity, as well. Character education is an abstract idea that many educators, both teachers and administrators, have a difficult time implementing, and too often it gets left out of the curriculum. How do school personnel, then, instill values of good character in students, and as an administrator, how do you spread these values to the entire school? DeRoche and Williams provide school leaders with an effective road map, touring schools that have achieved success. The authors divide the reader's journey through reform efforts into several "tour stops," beginning with a review of the character education framework, passing through subjects such as school climate, core values, training personnel, forming relationships, and concluding with guidelines for evaluation. Each "stop" contains a list of helpful articles or books, as well as valuable Internet resources. The conclusion of the journey is ultimately the responsibility of school leaders, but this book will give you a head start.

Book Description
Educators are confronted with antisocial, disruptive, and internalizing student behaviors which interfere with the flow of the learning environment and can potentially impede the learning of all students. These types of behaviors have been a concern for many years and are raising awareness among, faculty, staff, and parents that both teaching and learning are being affected due to these challenging behaviors. Therefore, administrators are faced with the challenging task of trying to find the right program or practice for addressing these behaviors. Research has shown that PBIS, ongoing professional development in classroom management, and character education programs are all effective preventative measures administrators have taken in order to address these behavioral issues and concerns. More recently, administrators have chosen to adopt The Leader in Me character program as a way to improve their school culture and climate and address student behavior issues. This case study explores teacher perceptions on The Leader in Me character program and its impact on student behavior issues at one elementary school site in an attempt to address the following question: Is The Leader in Me an effective character education program for administration to consider when looking to implement a program in order to address student behavior? A mixed-methods approach was utilized through the collection of suspension data over a four-year period and the completion of a seven-question survey by second through fifth grade teachers about their perceptions on The Leader in Me and its influence on student behavior since implementation in 2015. Quantitative suspension data revealed that The Leader in Me has not had a positive impact on student discipline issues at the studied elementary school site. Quantitative and qualitative data collected from the survey revealed a mixed review of teacher perceptions of The Leader in Me and its impact on student behavior issues since implementation. Teachers perceived The Leader in Me as having successful tools and systems to improve the overall climate and culture of a school, but it does not have the effective tools for addressing and correcting student behavior issues. A recommendation is to implement The Leader in Me in correlation with another preventative measure such as PBIS, in order to build a strong foundation and improve the climate and culture of a school, while also having the proper tools and systems in place to address student behavior issues. The information gathered in this study will add to existing research on The Leader in Me and provide administrators with teacher perceptions of The Leader in Me and its effectiveness when addressing student behavior and discipline problems. Results from this study will be informative to administrators considering a program or practice for improving student behavior and discipline issues.

Book Description
Teaching Character and Virtue in Schools addresses the contemporary issues of quantification and measurement in educational settings. The authors draw on the research of the Jubilee Centre at the University of Birmingham in order to investigate the concern that the conventional wisdom, sound judgement and professional discretion of teachers is being diminished and control mistakenly given over to administrators, policymakers and inspectors which in turn is negatively effecting pupils’ character development. The books calls for subject competence to be complemented by practical wisdom and good character in teaching staff. It posits that the constituent virtues of good character can be learned and taught, that education is an intrinsically moral enterprise and that character education should be intentional, organised and reflective. The book draws on the Jubilee Centre’s expertise in support of its claims and successfully integrates the fields of educational studies, psychology, sociology, philosophy and theology in its examination of contemporary educational practices and their wider effect on society as a whole. It offers sample lessons as well as a framework for character education in schools. The book encourages the view that character education is about helping students grasp what is ethically important and how to act for the right reasons so that they can become more autonomous and reflective individuals within the framework of a democratic society. Particularly interested readers will be educational leaders, teachers, those undertaking research in the field of education as well as policy analysts with a keen interest in developing the character and good sense of learners today.

Book Description
The unfortunate reputation of online courses today is one of little or no effort on the professor's part and little or no learning on the student's part. A missing element in online courses is the kind of mutual engagement between student and instructor that provides not only a higher level of learning but also lasting character formation within the student. Character Formation in Online Education stems from author Joanne Jung's years of experience teaching online courses with the aim of improving the teaching environment for professors and the learning environment for students. By replicating, customizing, and incorporating the best and most effective practices of what a great professor does in on-campus classes, reimagined for an online delivery system, Jung shows how a higher level of learning and transformation can be achieved through online learning communities. Handy and practical, this user-friendly book provides guidance, helpful tools, and effective suggestions for growing learning communities in online courses that are marked by character growth in students—the kind of growth that is central to the mission of Christian higher education.
