CHARACTER EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP ANNOUNCES BEASLEY ELEMENTARY AS A NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHARACTER
The Character Education Partnership (CEP) is proud to name 29 schools and districts to its roster of National
Schools of Character (NSOC). Each school or district is recognized for its commitment to character education and
for fostering a positive environment for social and academic learning.
The National Schools of Character will be featured at the National Forum on Character Education to take place
Oct. 24-27, 2013, in Washington, DC, where they will share their secrets to success.
“Each of these schools has a uniquely inspirational story of success in education,” said NSOC Director Lara Maupin.
“Schools of Character are places that foster more than just academic growth—these are nurturing educational communities that support parents in their most important job—raising good kids.”
“Most often you read news stories about the negative aspects of education,” says CEP President and CEO Mark
Hyatt. “These schools have faced the same challenges—budget reductions, increased class sizes, a lack of resources—but they’ve managed to maintain a focus on the students and holding high standards. We want to help tell
the stories of these schools to give inspiration to others, to say ‘you can succeed too.’”
The National Schools of Character come from a variety of settings – urban, suburban, and rural—and 15 different
states. The list includes 18 public elementary schools, 1 K-8 public school, 2 public middle schools, 1 K-8 charter
school, 1 public high school, 2 public alternative schools, 3 public school districts (1 large urban, 1 small suburban, 1
high school district), and 1 national charter school “district” (headquarters). One school, Chesterfield Elementary
School, is a second time winner.
Most of those selected as National Schools of Character demonstrate growth in terms of academics (increasing or
high test scores), behavior (reduction in disciplinary actions), and climate (survey results show students feel safe and
respected).
