The CPCE Approach
Plan and Structure
It is important to take time to plan how to best
create a program that will support the needs of the school and that
will be sustainable even through staffing changes. Free to Learn
encourages the use of a Leadership Team (which may be the same as
the School Site Council). Planning should include how to integrate
character education with existing school and district programs and
curriculum, as well as create specific goals and objectives for
the character education program to address.
Character Education School Site Plan Component
Character Education – ________ is a Free to Learn
project school and integrates character education school-wide; through
our structure, climate, curriculum, assessment, leadership development,
and parent/community involvement.
We teach and model six core character traits: Caring, Giving &
Service; Justice & Fairness; Leadership, Initiative & Teamwork;
Respect; Responsibility; and Trustworthiness
Reading Takes Character lessons correlate directly with the Open
Court Reading lessons and are used daily. The six core character
traits are reinforced in the classroom with posters, bookmarks,
pencils, and a citizenship report card.
