Gratitude was a key theme from several speakers at last year’s National Forum on Character Education. And we are grateful for so many whose hard work and dedication helped make the 19th National Forum on Character Education one of the best ever. We united character educators from around the globe to discuss some of education’s most pressing issues and to highlight the good work many are doing. We were pleased to honor our 2012 National Schools of Character and our record number of Promising Practices winners. Forum attendees include representatives from 41 different states and 11 foreign countries.
Here are some highlights
