The ultimate goal of character education is human and societal flourishing. In developing virtue literacy and enhancing practical wisdom, we can support individuals in living to their fullest potential and flourishing.
The CCCE’s framework outlines practical methods to achieving flourishing for individuals and organizations
Character can be caught by others as individuals model their own character in their actions, words and choices. Thus, Individual Learning sets the foundation for understanding how one models for others implicitly and explicitly. Leading a Community with Character includes recognizing how others “catch” one’s character and empowering others to participate in individual learning to bring together diverse perspectives in a shared vision and selection of core values unique to the organization.
Together, the community built can develop a shared plan for teaching character (taught character).
With an action plan for caught and taught character, Serving with Character is the deployment of the plan and intentions to empower stakeholders to seek character formation (sought character).
