Accelerating Character Education Learning through a Networked Approach: Insights from the Kern Partners for Character and Educational Leadership
Journal of Education, v202 n2 p198-207 Apr 2022
This article explores the utility of networked improvement communities (NICs) as an organizing structure for scaling character education across educational leadership programs through a case study of one network committed to integrating character education across varied institutions and contexts. In examining the improvement science process that guided NIC members' development and implementation of character education approaches and their perceptions of and participation in NIC activities, this case study offers insights on the promise of structured collaboration across diverse institutions. Furthermore, it identifies the need for NICs to differentiate improvement science activities based on participants' institutional readiness for character education.
