Many New Jersey schools have high quality, effective character education programs. Several have been recognized as New Jersey Schools of Character and/or National Schools of Character. Yet we know there are many more educators in the state who want to start or improve their own character education initiatives, who need and want ongoing guidance and support from experienced colleagues, but who can’t always attend conferences or workshops long distances from their school districts.
