According to the Character Education Partnership, "Character education promotes core values in all phases of school life and includes proactive strategies and practices that help children not only understand core, ethical values, but to care about and act upon them."

It provides an innovative opportunity to connect academic learning and the values emphasized in character education with real-world application.
