Abstract	"Facing History and Ourselves" aims to promote core character education values and to help middle and high school students develop moral reasoning skills. Students examine historical events, in particular the events that led to World War II and the Holocaust. Teachers participate in professional development seminars and apply the content and approaches to their own teaching or school program. "Facing History and Ourselves" also includes schoolwide components (such as guest speakers and videos), an optional part of the program evaluated. One study of "Facing History and Ourselves" met the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards with reservations. The study, which included approximately 350 middle school students attending school in the northeast, examined results on students' behavior and knowledge, attitudes, and values. The program implementation evaluated in this study did not include schoolwide components. "Facing History and Ourselves" was found to have no discernible effects on behavior and knowledge, attitudes, and values. Appended are: (1) Study Characteristics: Schultz, Barr, & Selman, 2001 (quasi-experimental design); (2) Outcome Measures in the Behavior Domain; (3) Outcome Measures in the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Values Domain; (4) Summary of Study Findings Included in the Rating for the Behavior Domain; (5) Summary of Study Findings included in the Rating for the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Values Domain; (6) Rating for the Behavior Domain; and (7) Rating for the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Values Domain.
