Ten Essentials for Character Education
Rivers, Thomas M.
Journal of General Education, v53 n3-4 p247-260 2004
This essay asks and answers ten questions that the author believes can serve as a primer or heuristic for educators who are considering character education as a meaningful part of their pedagogical objectives in both the university core curriculum and specific disciplines. All of the questions and answers are premised around the key assertion that the essential element of character education is the inculcation of intellectual or epistemic virtues.
