The Washington State Partnership for Character Education is supporting the development of local models for character education. Five geographically representative sites serving diverse school-age populations work together to develop effective strategies for character education and to describe and document the change process at the student and school level.
Activities at each site include:
- holding community forums to develop local partnerships and define character traits;
- selecting specific strategies for integrating character education into the curriculum in support of the state learning goals;
- developing a product that describes the strategies and why the strategies worked well in that setting or with a particular student population;
- supporting teacher training and involvement; and
- evaluating and disseminating all activities and products.
