I would try, if you haven't already, Nel Noddings, Maxine Greene, Martha
Nussbaum (she's a philosopher but has good things to say that relates to
educ.), Sherman's (I forget her first name) take on Aristotle's vision of
education for character, bell hooks, Amy Gutmann, Beverly Tatum, Maria
Montessori, even Lisa Delpit. These are the names that come to mind right
now. Of course, depending on how you approach "character" education, this
list may be highly relevant or not at all.
