Understand Character
Translating Character research into everyday practice
Consider this...
Since the creation of Education as a University domain, researchers have debated the gap between academic research and teacher practice.
Recent research from Australia of thousands of teachers has shown that 80% feel academic research would help them with their practice; but only 20% use academic research to inform their practice.

How can the “Understand Character” brick help?
We started by asking “What does research say about the importance of Character Education?"

These are a bit like the “99 research studies that every teacher needs to know” but crucially include how the research can be applied in practice in any classroom.

We also offer full, half day and twilight CPD sessions (online and in person) to help you dive into the research and provide practical examples of how you can truly understand and develop Character Education.
See our testimonials page for what teachers think about the sessions we regularly deliver in schools.
