Looking for a Character Education Program (CEP) that actually helps young people think clearer?  You've found the place!! CEP was developed by university research authorities and has been proven to be effective through testing and evaluation.  Actual statistical data is available to show that cognitive learning is taking place.  CEP works because students are challenged to THINK.  CEP asks tough questions and forces students to find out what they believe about honesty, respect, and fairness.  CEP and other character programs from the Center for ETHICS* at the University of Idaho have been featured on ABC Nightline, ESPN, BBC-TV, and CBS (national news), as well as numerous newspapers:  Atlanta Constitution, Detroit Free News, Chicago Sun Times, Chronicle of Higher Education.  To find out more...keep reading.

What is CEP?

     The Character Education Program (CEP) through the Center for ETHICS* at the University of Idaho has a goal to challenge students (K-12, plus University Age) to become better principled thinkers using moral reasoning to help face the difficult issues in their lives.  The curriculum materials for CEP are state of the art with online and hard text sources available.  The curriculum uses computer aided learning, interactive CD-ROMs, videos, texts, and day-by-day lessons and activities, all developed by master teachers and internationally acclaimed writers in moral reasoning.  CEP materials and teaching methodology are supported by 14 years of university research.  

     See the Cobb County project for an example of one public school program now involved in a CEP  project.
