Implementing Successful Character
Education
The new millennium has provided U.S. citizens
with a variety of opportunities not available to many
generations. Peace and economic growth have opened a window of
opportunity to reflect on our moral condition. The general
public has reflected its concern for declining ethics and
morality as the single most important issue facing our country
in a recent Gallup Poll 1. Educators and business leaders have
also acknowledged their dissatisfaction with the behaviors of
high school graduates related to taking responsibility and
working cooperatively 2. Is there a window of opportunity to
advance character and ethics education in our schools?

SEE
in collaboration with the Albert Schweitzer Institute is
currently taking applications for a student leadership program
we call Building Ethical Communities through Service-Learning.
This program involves a free, one-day workshop in October where
Connecticut school or youth organization teams learn about
shared values, practice ethical leadership skills, draft a
service-learning plan, and learn how to use ethical reflection
to improve their project and community. If you are interested in
enrolling a student team (grade 5-12) in this program, please
contact SEE at (800) 232-0013 or email us at Ethics@wisi.com for more
information and an application.
