Character Education Program Evaluation & Assessment
Regardless of the scale of your character education initiative, it’s a good idea to establish some means of evaluating it so you know whether you are achieving your goals. Such an assessment may be as rigorous as a full blown longitudinal study, or it can be as informal as counting disciplinary referrals or gathering anecdotal teacher impressions.
Assessments are usually designed to measure one or more of the following:
• changes in the students
• changes in the school climate
• how well the staff is implementing the program
The Character Education Partnership (CEP) has some very helpful publications on assessment and evaluation available on their website: https://www.character.org/more-resources/assessment-tools/
