A Feasibility Study of a Teachers’ Professional Development Program for Character Education in Latvia

Abstract

Annotation. This article presents a feasibility study of a schoolteachers’ professional development program on virtue education. Using a questionnaire and focus group discussions, the study explored program feasibility through implementors’ and participants’ perceptions. While participants were more critical than implementors regarding design and delivery, the overall program feasibility was high, and its main strengths and shortfalls were established. Suggestions for its improvement were put forward.
