Character in Education
We Promote & Encourage Character
We work closely with organizations, businesses, schools, and individuals to introduce good character qualities into daily life. Through a systemic focus, we learn about and grow one character trait each month which can be found in the coalition's free email bulletin. This publication also contains inspiring stories, quotes, and updates from the coalition about character in our community. With encouragement and positive reinforcement, the 49 character traits help to strengthen and grow the fabric of each of us, our families, and our communities. We follow the international calendar of character qualities as established by Character First.
