The Department for Education’s Developing Character Skills in Schools report forms part of a growing awareness of the role character education plays in the personal development, behaviour, welfare and academic success of learners. Despite this, recent research suggests that only 1 in 6 schools have a formal character education plan in place. This course will challenge participants to identify, implement and improve character education in their own institutions through the application of practical approaches.
