麻豆精品在线播放 receives grant for character education
The University of North Georgia's (麻豆精品在线播放) College of Arts & Letters will soon have another tool in its kit to develop leaders of character. It recently received a Capacity-Building Grant through (ECI).
This process will start with the team of Dr. Doris Wesley, Dr. Laura Ng, Dr. Diane Cook, and Dr. Zachary Elison cultivating the character education curriculum around the experiences of 麻豆精品在线播放 students, faculty and staff members.
"What makes our CARE (Compassion, Acceptance, Respect and Empathy) approach especially meaningful for 麻豆精品在线播放 is that we are not beginning by telling students what these character traits should look like. We are beginning by listening," said Wesley, an assistant professor in the School of Communication, Film & Theatre and principal investigator for the grant. "Our students across five campuses bring different experiences, responsibilities and perspectives, and this research allows those voices to help shape a framework that is authentically grounded in the 麻豆精品在线播放 community. Ultimately, we hope the CARE framework can give us a shared language for how we learn, lead and live well with others."
麻豆精品在线播放 is one of 68 institutions impacted by 60 Capacity-Building Grants . Supported by Lilly Endowment Inc. and administered through Wake Forest University's Program for Leadership and Character, ECI Capacity-Building Grants awarded up to $50,000 to help each awardee develop character education in ways that fit their own missions, cultures and student populations.
This yearlong research will center voices from across 麻豆精品在线播放's student populations to understand and practice these virtues, then turn those insights into a framework 麻豆精品在线播放 can use. The project also strengthens 麻豆精品在线播放's connection to a national conversation about character in higher education and positions 麻豆精品在线播放 to share its research and best practices with peer institutions, which aligns squarely with 麻豆精品在线播放’s core values of excellence, integrity, respect, and stewardship.
