Few character education books published in the 21st century have addressed the resource needs of P-12 teachers. It Starts in the Classroom: Character Education for a Better Tomorrow is a “character education tool kit” that enables P-12 teachers, teachers-in-training, counselors, administrators, and coaches to see themselves as the “key” character educators in their schools, classrooms, and community. This book helps bring humanity, student engagement, and other life skills into the classroom that have been proven to increase student academic achievement. Ultimately, It Starts in the Classroom helps teachers see that they are, in fact, really changing the world for the better. This book shows them how to do this not only with their students but with themselves. With the current state of our world, character education is needed now more than ever. Things can get better, but it starts in the classrooms—with the teachers and the students.

Edward F. DeRoche is the director of the Character Education Resource Center located at University of San Diego. He is also a recipient of the Sanford M. McDonnell Award for Lifetime Achievement in Character Education. Ed has published over eight books on the topic of character education. Serena Pariser is the bestselling author of Real Talk About Classroom Management and coauthor (with Edward DeRoche) of Real Talk About Time Management. She is also coauthor of Five to Thrive: Answers to Your Biggest Questions About Creating a Dynamic Classroom. She presents and consults nationally surrounding her work with teachers and students.
