Description: "Responding to the growing influence of the values education movement and the need for guidance in planning and implementation of values programs, this book offers a practical and conceptual model. A founder and, for fifteen years, director of the Center for the Advancement of Values Education (CAVE) at Le Moyne College, Donald J. Kirby draws on that experience to clarify and describe the development, research, and fine-tuning skills required to create this evolving, effective, operational process. He makes the process come alive giving others the power to make it a reality in their own institutions. He documents the leadership, growth process, structure, and institutional support that have enabled the CAVE model to succeed."

"Discussing a number of conceptual approaches, Professor Kirby offers advice for tailoring the CAVE model to various kinds of institutions, from large universities to medical, law, and business schools. Compass for Uncharted Lives provides a unique practical guide to program development, making this book an invaluable resource for faculty and administrators who desire to move from desire to action in terms of values education."--Jacket.
