Models of character education

Models of Character education are functional diagrams designed to prompt thought about underlying issues in Character education, and commentary on their meaning and use. They are generally useful for teacher reflection and collaboration, including in training exercises. Many bright older students will also be interested and able to comment, and they may be useable in many classroom contexts accordingly.
