Character Education Defined
Character education teaches universally-accepted values, such as trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship, and motivates youth to incorporate these values into their lives. Character education should be non-partisan and non-religious.
Program Overview
Arizona will be a leader and model state for character education by: providing voluntary education and training on the core values of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship to educators, leaders of youth nonprofit organizations, children and their families in Arizona. This will be made possible through collaborations with businesses, educators, community organizations, the State of Arizona, state and local agencies that deal with parents and youth, youth sports programs and all stakeholders that work with youth.
