For a reduced consultation price for CSEE member schools, our consultants help schools envision new possibilities, work through problems, or fine tune their existing programs. Consultants are available in the following areas:Honor Codes/Honor CouncilsAdvisory SystemsService LearningEstablishing Religion ProgramsTeaching ReligionReligious Diversity IssuesMoral Development in SchoolsUsing "Creating Classrooms and Home of Virtue"Deepening the Life of the Spirit CSEE has created curricular items for independent schools in a variety of areas, primarily for moral development, ethics and teaching religions. Creating Classrooms and Homes of Virtue is used by scores of elementary schools throughout the country, as is the Middle School ethics program, Applied Ethics. In addition to these resources, CSEE serves as a valuable resource to schools by recommending certain curricular offerings the our schools or consultants have found to be especially valuable. In a few cases, we have arranged marketing agreements that allow us to offer these resources at a reduced cost to member schools. We publish other works related to our mission from time to time, most notably, recently, Michael Schulman's Building Moral Schools: A Guide for Educators, and CSEE's The Environmentally Conscientious School: Where Do We Begin?
