| Abstract: | The Uniondale, New York School District and community believe that their character education program creates a safe and positive environment for their students. Through character education, they are increasing students' social competence and reducing students' aggressive behaviors. Their school district's goal is to build a district and school culture that is collaborative and child-centered, focusing on developing the capacity for all students to be well-rounded, achieve academically, be good citizens, and be prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Their priority is to foster character education in content areas with emphasis on social and ethical attributes and values. In this article, the authors discuss 11 principles for implementing character education from Kindergarten through 12th grade in Uniondale. Among other principles, the school district has clearly articulated its core values in both its Vision and Mission Statements. (Contains 2 notes.)
