The Character Conundrum

Designed for primary and secondary classrooms, this nonetheless is interesting in that it tackles the hotly contested question of what role schools can play in developing ‘character’. Based on a combination of ground-level investigations and academic research, the book advocates a deliberate and consistent approach to knowing which mindsets, skills and habits you’re trying to develop. Seemingly minor changes can translate into a major effect on pupils, the author contends. The book contains a step-by-step guide to bringing this approach to life, including a framework of pupil outcomes, a flowchart of teacher actions, classroom case studies and a wealth of tried-and-tested strategies from primary and secondary schools across the UK.
