Promising Practices Overview


Quarton Elementary School
Birmingham, MI

 

As part of the National Schools of Character awards program, the Character Education Partnership (CEP) gives annual Promising Practices awards to schools and districts in the United States and elsewhere for implementing unique and specific strategies in character education. Selected schools and districts receive an award certificate at the Promising Practices Awards Ceremony at the CEP National Forum on Character Education. In addition, a description of their winning practices appears in the National Schools of Character annual publication and on CEP’s website. See Promising Practices Awards 2010 Application Guidelines.

If your school or district has developed and successfully implemented a unique practice, CEP encourages you to apply for a Promising Practices award. We are not looking for a description of your whole character education program, but rather for a specific practice or aspect of your program that other schools may learn from and even replicate.

  • March 15 is the deadline for submitting applications for a Promising Practices award. All submissions are made online.
  • If your school or district applies for a National Schools of Character award, you have an extended deadline of April 15.

Application Process - online application is now available.
