CHARACTER EDUCATION LEADERS!
The deadline for the Florida State Schools of Character application has been extended to December 18! Learn about this exciting new award for Florida schools and districts at www.character.org/ssoc <http://www.character.org/ssoc> or on The Golden Rule Foundation’s website at www.DoUntoOthers.net (then click on SSOC).
National Schools of Character (NSOC)
Every year, the Character Education Partnership (CEP) names 10 public and private schools and districts (K-12) as National Schools of Character (NSOC) for their outstanding work in character education. The purpose of the awards program is to honor these exemplars, showcase their work, and help them to inspire and lead others.
State Schools of Character (SSOC)
Through a grant from the John Templeton Foundation, CEP has expanded the NSOC program to include State Schools of Character (SSOC). Thirteen states, including Florida, are conducting SSOC competitions to allow more schools and districts to be recognized and to provide exemplary sites within states to serve as models for other educators.
SSOC a Step to NSOC
State Schools of Character award recipients are eligible to be nominated by their state for the NSOC competition. In 2007, NSOC award recipients will receive a $20,000 grant: $10,000 to enhance their program and $10,000 to provide outreach to other educators through workshops and mentoring.
