  • 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.
