According
to Dr. Thomas Lickona, a leading authority on character education:
Character education is the
deliberate effort to cultivate virtue — that is, objectively good
human qualities that are good for the individual person and good for the
whole society. That doesn't happen accidentally or automatically.
It
happens as a result of great and diligent effort.
I would include qualities such as honesty, compassion, courage,
kindness, self-control, cooperation, diligence or hard work, all the
kinds of qualities that we need to both lead a fulfilling life and to be
able to live together harmoniously and productively.
Dr. Thomas Lickona
is a developmental psychologist and professor of education at the State
University of New York at Cortland.
He currently directs the Center for
the Fourth and Fifth Rs and is on the board of directors of the
Character Education Partnership.
