Tonight: Dr. Thomas Lickona, Raising Children of Character
Thursday, February 9 at 7 p.m., Horn Theatre (New Location)
Dr. Thomas Lickona, a developmental psychologist and
Professor of Education at the State University of New York
at
Cortland, will present a character education program
focusing
on the "Fourth and Fifth Rs" (Respect and Responsibility)
to McDonogh parents. Dr. Lickona's message is
that character is power--the underlying success in school
and
all areas of life. He describes character as having two
major
parts: "performance character" (self-discipline, hard work,
and perseverance as the qualities needed for achievement)
and
"moral character" (honesty, respect, and caring as the
qualities needed for ethical behavior in relationships). He
will share how important it is to develop both sides of
character if we wish to help all students realize their
potential for success.
