Abstract	As the educational community works together to improve academic achievement, the importance of character traits such as honesty, trustworthiness, self discipline, kindness, empathy, respect, responsibility, and courage must not be neglected. This guide has been designed to help educators and families in Massachusetts link character development and civic responsibility with the school curriculum. The guide's first section, excerpted from "Building Character in Schools" (Kevin Ryan; Karen Bohlin), presents an introduction to principles of character education. The second section presents selected learning standards from the Massachusetts "Curriculum Frameworks" that reflect these principles. The final section offers an annotated list of books and Internet sites as a resource for educators and families. (BT)
