Behavior. Personality. Adolescence. Academic performance. These are some of the buzz phrases prevalent in middle school settings as educators wrestle with how to understand, manage, lead, and work with our middle school students and help shape them into responsible young adults. Character education (and many terms like it) is a concept that has been around for many years on every level of the educational process. In the middle school setting, there is an urgent need for character education, regardless of what form it takes. Sadly, some schools and/or the administration abandon this process in the vigorous pursuit of higher test scores. This book condenses my empirical research into character education with a focus on the inner city middle school setting. I examined how school stakeholders viewed this topic, what they know about it, why they support or disapprove of character education, and possible steps schools could take to implement their own initiatives successfully, both in the middle school setting and others as well.
Autoren-Porträt von Emeka Nzeocha
Dr. Nzeocha has spent almost 17 years in a middle schoolsetting. He spent 11 years as a middle school teacher in an
inner city school system in Alabama. He was promoted
as an assistant principal at a pre-kindergarten through
eighth grade school with a population of about 805
students. He is currently a principal at a middle school in
the same system. Dr. Nzeocha attended Stillman College,
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for his undergraduate studies, and
later received his PhD in Educational Leadership from
the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). He is
inspired by works of Dr. Thomas Lickona, and others
who are championing character and performance
education in public schools. He also enlisted in the Army
National Guard and later attended Offi cers’ Candidate
School at the Alabama Military Academy (AMA), Fort McClellan, where he received
his Commission as a 2nd Lieutenant. He lives in Alabama, and is a proud parent of a 12
