This case study was designed to investigate what makes character education meaningful from the perspective of students, teachers and mentors in an urban public middle school. The school studied was identified as having a partnership with a local church that supported the school's character education by providing mentors and organizing special programs for students, but the study revealed minimal implementation of the program. Observations and interviews with teachers, students, and mentors were conducted over the course of one semester. Results were analyzed and coded using qualitative techniques of constant comparative analysis and data reduction. Themes that emerged include the importance of role models (especially male role models), one-to-one connectedness, consistency, the influence of the home, helping adolescents to think differently about themselves, and challenging academics and high expectations. For curriculum and program developers, the findings may provide insights into developing practices and settings that are conducive to developing desirable character traits in adolescent students. The findings also are consistent with current theory that social cognition and skills are closely aligned with character development and academic achievement.
