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.
The following changes were made to the application this year in an effort to streamline the process for applicants and winners:
|
We are asking applicants to paste their responses directly into the application. Prepare your responses in Word first. Refer to the 2010 application guidelines for the maximum character counts. Word can track your word count. | |
| Applicants must upload a photo during the application process. You will not be able to submit your application without the photo. If you do not have a photo of your promising practice, take a picture your school building. Please do not attempt to upload a Word document or PDF. Photos will be accepted in these formats only: .jpg, .jpeg, .gif. | |
| Your confirmation email will contain a link that can be used to edit your application, or add additional promising practices. This link may also be used to change your photo. Your application is open for edit/changes until April 1, 2010. |
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.
-

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.
