Looking for a Character Education Program (CEP) that actually helps young people think clearer? You've found the place!!

What is
CEP?
The Character Education Program (CEP) through the Center for ETHICS* at the
University of Idaho has a goal to challenge students (K-12, plus University Age) to become
better principled thinkers using moral reasoning to help face the
difficult issues in their lives. The
curriculum materials for CEP are state of the art with online and
hard text sources available. The curriculum uses computer aided learning, interactive
CD-ROMs, videos,
texts, and day-by-day lessons and activities, all developed by master teachers and
internationally acclaimed writers in moral reasoning. CEP materials and teaching
methodology are supported by 14 years of university research.
See the Cobb County project for an example of one public school program now involved in a CEP project.
