MKA Alum's Blog Showcased by CEP

Congratulations to Rebecca Bauer, MKA Class of 2010 and a senior at Vassar College, whose blog Adventures in Student Teaching is being showcased by the Character Education Partnership (CEP) - the country's foremost character education body. Bauer, who is majoring in psychology, is also pursuing teacher certification in early childhood education.

The blog follow's Bauer's efforts to integrate ethics and character education into the classrooms in which she finds herself as a student teacher - a subject that has long been close to her heart.  While at MKA, Bauer, a member of the Honor Council and Ethics Committe, was instrumental in leading efforts to incorporate a student perspective into the school's Character Standards. It was her belief that only by doing this, could the Standards have meaning for and relevancy to the entire student body.
