Students and Educators Celebrate Character

Connecticut’s Assets-Based Character Education Conference held March 4 and 5 in New Britain brought together over three hundred students and educators with the goal to celebrate positive character. The sold-out event featured Dr. Thomas Lickona, the author of Educating for Character and Director for The Center for the Fourth and Fifth R's (Cortland, NY) as the keynote speaker. Fourteen workshops were also presented in two breakout sessions along with inspirational entertainment from two school-based youth choirs.
