"Caring School Community[TM]" ("CSC") is a modified version of a program formerly known as the "Child Development Project." The program aims to promote core values, prosocial behavior, and a schoolwide feeling of community. The program consists of four elements originally developed for the "Child Development Project": (1) class meeting lessons; (2) cross-age "buddies" programs; (3) "homeside" activities; and (4) schoolwide community. Two studies reviewed by the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) investigated the effects of the CDP, an earlier version of CSC. The studies are referred to as the "San Ramon Study" and the "Six-District Study" because there are many documents for each study. The San Ramon Study was a randomized controlled trial that met WWC standards with reservations. The Six-District Study used a quasi-experimental design that also met WWC evidence standards with reservations. The WWC analysis found potentially positive effects in the behavior domain and no discernible effects in the knowledge, attitudes, and values and the academic achievement domains. Character education, an evolving field, is beginning to establish a research base. The evidence presented in this report is limited and may change as new research emerges. Appended are: (1) Study characteristics: The San Ramon Study (randomized controlled trial with confounding problems); (2) Study characteristics: The Six-District Study (quasi-experimental design); (3) Outcome measures in the behavior domain; (4) Outcome measures in the knowledge, attitudes, and values domain; (5) Outcome measures in the knowledge, attitudes, and values domain; (6) Outcome measures in the academic achievement domain; (7) Summary of study findings included in the rating for the behavior domain; (8) Summary of study findings included in the rating for the knowledge, attitudes, and values domain; (9) Summary of study findings included in the rating for the academic achievement domain; (10) Summary of findings for knowledge, attitudes, and values; (11) Summary of subtest study findings for the academic achievement domain; (12) Summary of additional findings for academic achievement; (13) "Caring School Community[TM]" rating for the behavior domain; (14) "Caring School Community[TM]" rating for the knowledge, attitudes, and values domain; and (15) "Caring School Community[TM]" rating for the academic achievement domain.
