Over the years, CEP has put together many valuable resources that are useful to educators, as well as concerned community members, in developing a comprehensive character education program.

11 Principles of Effective Character Education

CEP’s guiding framework details the important aspects of school climate that must be considered when a school is engaging in social, emotional, and character development efforts. The revised edition clarifies some language and provides background on each principle, as well as key indicators of what each principle looks like in practice.

11 Principles Sourcebook

The Sourcebook is the ultimate resource in character education planning. This binder is packed full of information on how to implement specific practices that you can tailor to fit your school’s unique needs. It contains booklets covering each of the 11 principles mentioned above, as well as examples from other schools, handouts, assessment ideas, and ideas for further resources.
