MINNESOTA COMMUNITY VOICES AND CHARACTER EDUCATION Project:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Collaborating with the MN Dept of Education, we had $1 million Character Education Partnership grant funds from the US Department of Education to collaborate with school teams and develop a flexible approach to moral character education (“Community Voices and Character Education<\/a>“). We aimed to help educators incorporate ethical skill development into regular academic instruction. An earlier version of the guidebooks we developed are downloadable for free from a link here: http:\/\/cee.nd.edu\/curriculum\/ and the later versions are purchasable as noted.<\/p>\n

In that project we on the university team compiled the set of skills that comprise the skills toolkit for moral character plus the pedagogical approach that works best (novice-to-expert apprenticeship). We identified skills and subskills and organized them by four levels of expertise development. We also made suggestions for supportive climate elements for each skill as well as student self-monitoring. The teams of educators took this information and adapted it for their own circumstances (selecting which skills to work on and which teachers would implement them). This made it hard to evaluate since every school did things differently and we had troubles with pre-post testing during the evaluation year (I had moved to ND) but we got a publication (Narvaez et al., 2004<\/a>). Reanalyses were done in\u00a0Narvaez (2012<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Integrative Ethical Education model<\/a> (IEE,) developed after I moved to Notre Dame from the U of MN, put everything into five basic steps<\/p>\n

(1) Establish a caring relationship with the learner.<\/p>\n

(2) Establish a social climate supportive of ethical character.<\/p>\n

(3) Teach the ethical skills (sensitivity, judgment, focus, action) using a novice-to-expert pedagogy.<\/p>\n

(4) Foster student self-authorship and self-regulation.<\/p>\n

(5) \u201cRestore the village\u201d of community support by forming asset-building communities and coordinated developmental systems.<\/p>\n

The Nurturing Character in the Classroom<\/em> <\/strong>book series# is a set of guidebooks for teachers that provide hundreds of ideas for how to incorporate moral character skill development into regular academic instruction. EthEx refers to the lifelong development of ethical skills toward expertise (eth<\/strong>ical ex<\/strong>pertise) in many domains and situations. The four EthEx books each suggest 7 skills with 3 subskills important for a virtuous life. The books outline how to teach these skills in a middle-school context. But the books are used by K-16 instructors. Each book contains:<\/p>\n
