Handbook of Moral and Character Education
      Second Edition
      There is widespread agreement that schools should contribute to the moral development 
      and character formation of their students. In fact, 80% of US states currently have man-
      dates regarding character education. However, the pervasiveness of the support for moral 
      and character education masks a high degree of controversy surrounding its meaning 
      and methods. The purpose of this handbook is to supplant the prevalent ideological 
      rhetoric of the field with a comprehensive, research-oriented volume that both describes 
      the extensive changes that have occurred over the last 15 years and points forward to the 
      future. Now in its second edition, this book includes the latest applications of develop-
      mental and cognitive psychology to moral and character education from preschool to 
      college settings, and much more.
