Character Development in the Catholic School

This book, which presents a foundational paper, is the first in a series of publication programs that will focus on developing Christian character in students. While Dr. Cronin is the principal author of the paper, many other people provided valuable insights into its development, including Dr. Thomas Lickona, Rev. Joseph Merkt, Dr. Joseph Rogus, and Dr. Paul Vitz. The paper envisions the Catholic school graduate as a Christ-like person. Specific suggestions are made for early childhood, middle school and secondary school teachers. The book also includes reflections on the paper by a parent, an elementary school educator, a secondary school educator, a religious educator, a college educator, a superintendent of schools and a publisher of religious education materials. This is the book that every teacher will need, and it will be the basis of many faculty discussions.
