  • Educating for Character and Citizenship Print Program
    BEYOND ACADEMICS: EDUCATING FOR CHARACTER AND CITIZENSHIP FEBRUARY 15–16, 2018 NEW ORLEANS WELCOME Dear Colleague, Welcome to New Orleans! We’re so glad you could join us for “Beyond Academics: Educating for Character and Citizenship.” Every day, in ways obvious and not, schools provide lessons to young people in character development. Those lessons don’t just come from explicit teaching about the importance of honesty, hard work, or persistence. The school climate and culture — including expectations for students, the ways teachers interact with them, and responses to misbehavior — send signals that can have a lasting impact. The notion that schools play an important role in character formation and in developing informed and engaged citizens is not new. The idea dates back to the beginnings of public education in the United States. But a growing body of research and public attention is bringing the concept of educating the “whole child” back to the fore. For journalists, this represents an opportunity to explore an array of timely questions. In this era of media distrust, how can schools teach students to be savvy consumers of news? Is the push for social and emotional learning the latest fad in education or a sign of a long-term trend? How are schools reexamining age-old discipline practices through the lens of equity and opportunity? And what does character education look like in schools and classrooms? We’ve gathered educators, students, researchers, and journalists to explore these issues and more. We hope you’ll leave with a deeper understanding and fresh ideas on these important topics.

    Transcript of Interview with Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter HARDBALL for April 29, 2008 MSNBC BYLINE: Chris Matthews, Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell, Tamron Hall, David Shuster, Ed Gordon, Margaret Carlson, Howard Fineman GUESTS: Pres. Jimmy Carter, Bill Richardson MATTHEWS: Welcome back to HARDBALL. Former president Jimmy Carter says his family supports Obama. So does that mean the former president will throw his weight behind Barack Obama, as well? Jimmy Carter is here to talk about the presidential campaign, especially Barack Obama, and his new book, called "A Remarkable Mother." It`s about your mom. (CROSSTALK) JIMMY CARTER, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I`m really here to talk about my mother. MATTHEWS: I know. But we have the news. This is a news program. (LAUGHTER) MATTHEWS: And before you -- you have to pay for your supper. First of all, Mr. President, my former boss, with great dignity, what did you make of this fight? Because I know your family supports Barack Obama, but he`s in the middle of this storm over his former minister. Has he gotten out of it today by divorcing the guy, basically, from his life? CARTER: I don`t see much of the news, but I think that Obama and Wright ought to be completely separated. From what I hear lately, Wright has really turned on Obama and tried to attack him. His purpose in doing that is indecipherable. And some of the things he said are hard to believe, also. And I think it`s very wise of Obama and courageous to separate himself, so far as I can tell, completely from his former pastor.
