As part of the National Schools of Character (NSOC) awards program, the Character Education Partnership (CEP) gives Promising Practices awards to schools and districts in the United States and elsewhere for implementing unique and specific strategies in character education.
If your school or district has developed and successfully implemented a unique character education practice, we encourage you to apply for a Promising Practices award. We are not looking for a description of your entire character education initiative, but rather for a specific practice or aspect of your program that other schools may learn from and even replicate.
How to Apply
1. Download 2010 Application Guidelines
2. Complete the online Promising Practices Award Application. You will be prompted to enter the following:
-
basic information about you and your school or district.
-
the name of your practice as you wish for it to appear and the date it began
-
information about how you learned about this award
CEP posts winners on its website in late May and then mails notification letters soon thereafter.
CEP's Eleven Principles of Effective Character Education and Character Education Quality Standards can be helpful tools in responding to the Narrative Questions.
