The educational system in the United States has ended its failed experiment with separating the intellectual from the moral. Schools from K-12 to colleges and universities are increasingly paying attention to students'' values and character. But how can we ensure this new era in character education makes the right kind of difference to young people? What obstacles in our current educational system must we overcome, and what new opportunities can we create? This anthology offers unique perspectives on what is needed to make character education an effective, lasting part of our educational agenda.
Each chapter points out the directions that character education must take today and offers strategies essential for progress. The expert contributors reveal why relativism has threatened the moral development of young people in our time-and how we can pass core values down to new generations of students in ways that will elevate their conduct and their life goals. And they show the critical importance of reestablishing student morality and character as targets of higher education''s central mission. Perhaps most important, they clarify the necessity of authority in any moral education endeavor-and show how it is a powerful force for developing personal freedom and building character.
