Great "How -to" for building character

In our multicultural society there are as many views of appropriate behavior as there are ethnic, national, or societal groups or religious codes of belief. Today, perhaps more than ever, schools need to cope with the challange of infusing values into the character of the young. What is a public code of behavior acceptable to all segments of this diversified American society and how do we integrate it into the education of our children? Educators have struggled with this question for the last hundred years. Finally there is a hands-on practical guidebook that gives the principal as well as the classroom teacher a well-defined method of communicating what might be called an American Public Morality. The RICE (R-respect, I impulse control C compassion E quity) Program as developed in Connecting Character to Conduct by Stein, Richin, and Banyon is must reading for all educators. This slender volume will change your life as a teacher.
