Follow on Google News | Character Education Partnership Announces 2014 National Schools of Character41 schools and 3 districts honored as 2014 National Schools of Character (NSOC).
By: Character Education Partnership the character education movement, today named 41 schools and 3 districts as 2014 National Schools of Character (NSOC). These schools and districts have demonstrated, through a rigorous evaluation process that character development infused in their curriculum and school showcased positive impact on its school’s academics, student behavior, and school climate. CEP has provided this program to K-12 schools and districts in the U.S. since 1998. Since its inception, CEP has awarded over 250 schools with the distinction of a National School of Character. Character education is an educational movement that supports the social, emotional and ethical development of students. It is the proactive effort by schools, districts, communities and states to help students develop important core ethical and performance values such as caring, honesty, fairness, responsibility, creativity, critical thinking, and respect for self and others. Character education provides long-term solutions to moral, ethical, and academic issues that are of growing concern in our society and our schools. The National Schools of Character program is not a competition— well as recognition for growth and excellence in the area of character development as measured by CEP’s 11 Principles of Effective Character Education framework. National Schools of Character hold their designations for five years. CEP showcases the NSOC in an annual publication and on its website. The honored schools earn the right to use the NSOC name and logo. Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education created a video to help celebrate today’s honorees. “Each of the schools named a 2014 National School of Character has its own individual story of student success and inspiration for their surrounding communities,” schools use character education at a very high level, which fosters an environment dedicated to preparing their students to be more ethical, caring and engaged citizens. We are very proud all of the honorees and every school that submitted an application.” In March and April, all 50 NSOC finalists underwent an intensive screening process that included site visits, conference calls, and analysis of the impact of their character-related efforts on academics, student behavior, and school culture as part of the consideration to be named a National School of Character. CEP will honor these schools and districts at the 21st National Forum on Character Education, to be held the weekend of October 30, 2014, in Washington, DC.
