"For those willing to take up the task of teaching ethics, the book provides a practical blueprint for teachers, schools, and parents." —Booklist
"A quiet, modest and sensible book that gently aims to nudge its readers toward the path of virtue. It's a book full of practical advice which should prove quite useful for any teacher struggling to make her school something better than just another rule-laden, amoral bureaucracy." —Washington Times
"Building Character in Schools offers American parents and teachers precisely what we need and so sorely lack--a moral vision of how we ought to live with one another and the heart of what 'character education' is meant to teach us: an ethics that is affirmed in our day-to-day engagement with our fellow human beings." —Robert Coles, professor of psychiatry and medical humanities, Harvard University
"Each day I become more convinced that the moral degradation of our society stems primarily from the lack of character development in both our homes and our schools. Henry David Thoreau taught, 'for every thousand striking at the leaves of evil there is one striking at the roots.' This book strikes at the roots. Building Character in Schools is a timely, well written, immensely practical, breakthrough book that will awaken our minds and hearts and remind us of our moral obligation to our greatest resource and our future: our children." —Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, NOTE: Per the Andorser's request, use only for book jacket.
"This is a book that is packed with practical and inspiring wisdom about what schools, families, and young people themselves can do to build good character. It should lift the nation's rapidly growing character education movement to a new level of maturity." —Thomas Lickona, director, Center for the 4th and 5th Rs (Respect and Responsibility)
"Character building is hard work. Teachers and principals are ready for the strategies that help them partner with parents in moral instruction. This is the book that will meet their needs." —Diane G. Berreth, deputy executive director, Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
"A model of character education that will be embraced by both the 'Right' and the 'Left.' Ultimately, the book provides a plan of action for individuals and community alike and will go a long way in cultivating character in our nation's youth." —Jewish World Review
