Over two hundred character educators have been asked to respond to the question "What student activities and behaviors will I see which are supported by or compliment the Character Education mission?" Here are some of their responses:

  • Students are involved in and leading service-learning projects.

  • Students manage peer mediation efforts resulting in a decrease in teacher/administrative intervention.

  • Students have high competency in social and emotional skills and use active listening to make others feel understood. Students engage in interpretive discussions.

  • Students actively seek commonalities by using cooperative practices in recognizing and honoring the differences, diversities, strengths and weaknesses of others.  

  • Students speak out in support of positive character by using character education vocabulary and serving as role models.

  • Student  attendance is high accompanied by high academic achievement. Students come to class prepared and with a strong sense of pride, spirit and enthusiasm.
