Book Description
This study evaluated the impact of a character education program on student behaviors as measured through academic achievement and discipline at Cousins Middle School. The process included the studying of three years of longitudinal data on 54 eighth grade middle school students in the areas of grade point averages, standardized test scores, absenteeism rates, and discipline problems. Furthermore, its impact was evaluated by reviewing teacher perceptions on the program as gathered through perception questionnaires and personal interviews. All data were gathered during the course of the implementation of a character education program that was mandated by the state of Georgia.
