摘要
This article describes a multiyear initiative of a multilingual multicultural international school that has come to adopt and internalize character development as part of its identity.That is,character education has been treated as a central tenet and core value that permeates the school and binds the community.It has not been regarded as a supplemental or enhancement project,but rather integral to the general educational program.Built from a principled framework with sound theoretical backing,the infusion of character education at this international school has resulted in the crafting of new standards and the introduction of teacher and student self-assessment tools.In that vein,in this article,we share how the school has come to embrace character development and has forged personalized ways for stakeholders,including teachers and multilingual learners,to engage in improving teaching and learning.
