Facing History and Ourselves
Character Education

Facing History and Ourselves was found to have no discernible effects on behavior and knowledge, attitudes, and values.

Facing History and Ourselves aims to promote core character education values and to help middle and high school students develop moral reasoning skills.

Teachers participate in professional development seminars and apply the content and approaches to their own teaching or school program. Facing History and Ourselves also includes optional schoolwide components (such as guest speakers and videos).
