Understanding Character Education introduces readers to the key ideas, practices and concepts that are shaping character education in schools today. The book explores the principles underpinning character education and the pedagogical practices which ensure it comes alive in schools.
Each chapter includes a variety of features to help navigate through the ideas, themes and practices examined. These include:
•Chapter objectives to help readers understand the core focus and intentions of each chapter
•Reflective activities to help readers to think more deeply about particular ideas and issues, and to consider how practices described are, or could be, applied in their own contexts
•Case studies to help readers to understand how character education is approached and implemented by educators in and beyond schools
•Annotated further readings to help readers take a closer and more detailed look at the methods, applications and issues covered
This book is essential reading for all those involved in the teaching and learning of young people, as well as those studying this vital topic on education studies, teacher education and postgraduate level courses.
