11 Principles of Character Education Training 

Kids of Character is bringing the Character Education Partnership (CEP) to the Lehigh Valley to do a one-day intense training on the 11 Guiding Principles of Effective Character Education.  The 11 Principles are a guide for schools to create or enhance their own custom character education initiative. No need to purchase an expensive boxed program.

 

The CEP recommends that each school district send 3 – 5 participants who will then act as the core committee for the school’s character education initiative.  They also recommend that each school gets one sourcebook for every 3 participants.  The training is free to participants* thanks to a generous donation from DeSales University’s Department of Student Development. The next time we bring the training to the Lehigh Valley, there might be a charge.  Participants will receive a certificate of completion after the course.

Training "focuses on school-wide systemic change." The class teaches school leaders to "create safe, healthy, high-performing schools, while inspiring students to reach their full potential as students and as people."


Programs emphasize:

v  Driving student achievement, ethical growth, and social and emotional skill development

v  Identifying teaching strategies for moral and performance character

v  Integrating character education throughout the entire school

v  Conducting assessment and action planning. 

We are very excited to bring this training to the Lehigh Valley!  Seating is limited to 60 participants!

*The cost of the Sourcebook will be discounted to $164 for participants at this training class.
