v Define character comprehensively to include thinking, feeling, and behavior.
v Have meaningful and challenging academic curriculums that respect learners.

From doing this research I found out character development is more found upon in school than anything else.
“ Research and practice suggest that the most effective character education schools combine direct instruction, modeling, reinforcement, and various community-building strategies (class meetings, service learning, cooperative learning, intercultural exchange, social-skills training, and caring interpersonal support) to promote the development of moral virtues, moral reasoning, and other assets that make the will and ability to do what is right and good probable. ”
