SEE provides consulting to schools, school districts and other organizations that are seeking to implement comprehensive ethics and character education. Consulting topics are broadly classified into Strategic Planning, Program Implementation and Program Evaluation. All of SEE's consulting services are consistent with and support the development of Character. org's 11 Principles of Effective Character Education and participation in their National Schools of Character program.

Strategic Planning SEE will work with a strategic planning team to complete a visioning and planning process in support of developing a plan for comprehensive character education. SEE's strategic planning model supports Character.org's 11 Principles of Effective Character Education and prepares schools to participate in the National Schools of Character program. Schools should be prepared to form a team with administrators, faculty, parents and students to complete a qualitative evaluation of current district/school practices as they relate to comprehensive character education. The team will prioritize its objectives and goals to create a four-year strategic plan. |

Program Implementation
SEE will work with a character education committee to monitor steps of a strategic plan. Benchmarks to achieve implementation of strategic plan will be reviewed and the plan will be re-affirmed or altered. SEE will provide connection to national resources and programs in character education that help meet goals of the strategic plan. SEE programs (Integrity Works!, Laws of Life, YES: Service-Learning, Golden Compass: Character-Based Decision-Making, Reasoning with Ethics) will be offered as best practices and supported through professional development workshops and technical assistance. |
Program Evaluation
SEE will work with members of a character education committee to identify program goals and draft strategies to measure goal achievement quantitatively or qualitatively. Published instruments will be identified for use and/or in-house assessment measures will be designed, tested and implemented. SEE will assist the committee in implementation of the assessment instruments, analysis of assessment data and recommendations for affirming or altering the strategic plan. Character.org's 11 Principles for Effective Character Education will be recommended as one evaluation tool. SEE has its own AMIS (Academic Motivation & Integrity Survey) to establish a baseline of secondary student beliefs, attitudes and observations regarding academic integrity in school.
