Produktbeschreibung

The primary purpose of this study was to identify elementary school teachers' stages of concern as they relate to character education implementation in their classrooms. The Concerns Based Adoption Model, developed by Hall and Hord, was the primary vehicle used to evaluate participants' stages of concern regarding implementation of character education. Insights into teachers' stages of concern suggest to supervisors what teachers need to successfully implement character education in their classrooms This study also sought to determine if relationships exit between elementary school teachers' stages of concern and (1) their perceptions of the value of character education, (2) their training opportunities, (3)their highest degree earned, and their years of teaching experience. Survey methodology was used in this study to gather descriptive data on teachers' responses to items related to their stages of concern, perceptions about the value of character education,the training theyalready received to help them understand and implement character education in their classrooms, and the methods they are using to facilitate character education lessons in their classrooms.
