Fostering Character: EL Education Core Practice 26
EL Education defines character as having two facets-relational character and performance character. Relational character skills are essential for positive collaboration, ethical interaction, appropriate participation, and personal responsibility for actions (e.g., kindness, honesty, integrity). Fostering character is not an add-on in EL schools or at The Greene School- it is embedded in all aspects of the school culture and permeates academic studies.
