What Works in Character Education

By Marvin W. Berkowitz, Ph.D. and Melinda C. Bier, Ph.D.

What Works in Character Education represents an effort to uncover and synthesize existing scientific research on the effects of K-12 character education. It is made up of a brief overview of the project, a description of the main findings, a set of guidelines on effective character education practice,and some brief cautionary remarks regarding how to interpret these findings. It is intended to provide practical advice for educators derived from a review of the research. What Works in Character Education was made possible by the Character Education Partnership (CEP).
