SC: FYI, there ARE LAWS that govern the agendas you speak of while there are no laws at this moment that govern same-sex marriages or civil unions. There are 5 or fewer States that permit same-sex marriages or civil unions, but what is that to you on a personal level? These individuals have not invaded your life-style nor invited you into their bedroom; quite frankly, you have no beef with them other than the fact that their belief opposes yours and your ideal of Utopia. If indeed a same-sex relationship is against God, then leave it to God to deal with; otherwise, as a believer in Biblical Scriptures, you are violating Gods admonishment Judge not, lest ye be judged.

Weaving character into the fabric of your school definitely helps to retain teachers and maintain positive morale throughout your school family. Many of the ideas that we’ve implemented at Westwood Elementary (NSOC 2009) over the past eight years have come from seeds planted at CEP’s Forum. It’s incredibly energizing to surround yourself with other character educators and mentors from all over the nation and beyond for three days of non-stop collaboration and professional and personal learning opportunities. There’ll be sessions appropriate for students of every age, so do yourself a favor and make your plans now to join us for this amazing experience, one that will undoubtedly add value to your character building.

The conference definitely offers sessions and resources for high school teachers. As a retired high school teacher myself, I know that doing character education at that level is challenging. But the payoff can be even more powerful at the high school level than in an elementary school. There’s a sampling of breakout sessions listed on our website now, I hope to have the full list up soon. Here are just three sessions I’d recommend “You Can Count on Me” led by high school teachers from a 2008 NSOC;”Step Up to the Mic” led by English teacher Amanda Cordes; and “Service Learning: Real, Relevant, Engaging”–taught by Cathy Berger Kaye;

The example of 4, 5, and 6 year-olds being leaders with integrity is encouraging, but what about those rebellious, jaded teen years? Does the conference provide concrete ideas for high schools to create a bully-free, caring, and responsible environment?

So relevant! As a counselor at Birmingham Public Schools in Michigan, where we have been particularly hit hard by rough economic times, we have see an outright assault on Educators. All the while, our teachers work extremely hard to provide an educational environment that fosters the critical thinking skills and application of their programs. It’s very understandable that teachers can feel burned out after all the effort they put into their jobs in the face of cuts and the rhetoric you speak of. I will say that one way to combat those feelings is to commune with like-minded individuals and network with others whom share your passion for education, professional development, and character. No better way to accomplish this than to attend the National Forum on Character (CEPForum10)! You will feel energized and engaged with great minds – and joyful colleagues. I highly encourage everyone involved in education to attend.
