The author "offers portraits of three high-performing urban schools that have made
character development central to their mission. [The book] highlights each school's
unique approach to character development and shows how qualities like empathy, integrity,
perseverance, and daring can nurture student success"--P. [4] de la couv ; "In Character
Compass, Scott Seider offers portraits of three high-performing urban schools in Boston,
Massachusetts that have made character development central to their mission of supporting
student success, yet define character in three very different ways. One school focuses
on students' moral character development, another emphasizes civic character development,
and the third prioritizes performance character development. Drawing on surveys, interviews,
field notes, and student achievement data, Character Compass highlights the unique
effects of these distinct approaches to character development as well as the implications
for parents, educators, and policymakers committed to fostering powerful school culture
in their own school communities."-- Résumé de l'éditeur
