"Character Compass"challenges me to reflect on our school s
curriculum, programming, practices, and messages. In what ways are
we influencing our students character development, and in what ways
are we missing opportunities to explicitly define and reinforce
attitudes, beliefs, and actions that will positively shape their
character? Peggy Kemp, headmaster, Fenway High School, Boston

If you are interested in character education across a district,
within a school, or in a single classroom, "Character Compass"is
for you. Seider not only offers a strong theoretical framework to
help guide big-picture decision making, he also provides rich,
nuanced descriptions of how the character programs actually play
out in schools. I can t wait to share these portraits with my
graduate students. Brent Maddin, provost and professor, Relay
Graduate School of Education

In this timely and solidly researched book, Scott Seider makes the
case that a school s efforts to foster character do not come at the

citizens who care about the full character development of the
young. William Damon, professor of education and director of the
Center on Adolescence, Stanford University
