About this item:

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.

Every person in education needs to read this book, from NQT’s, SLT’s to government policy creators. This book covers vital information about the importance of Character education in our schools. It is the way forward and a fantastic resource to help you on this positive path.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent contirbution to the field

A.T. · 14 September 2021

This book is an excellent contribution to the field of character education. The authors are colleagues of mine, and it is great to see this book be published. It provides a thorough and comprehensive understanding to character education, and the case studies of how it is delivered in schools, universities and other settings really bring the work to life. My main question is why Bolo doesn't list Michael and Andrew as co-authors?!
