Character education thrives when practitioners across all educational sectors come together to share wisdom, tackle challenges, and build lasting partnerships. KPCEL’s community activities are designed to bridge the gap between research and practice, connecting K-12 leadership teams, nonprofits, educator and leader preparation faculty, and researchers in meaningful collaboration.
Whether you’re implementing character development in your school, preparing future educators and leaders, or conducting research on human flourishing, our activities provide the professional community and practical learning experiences you need to advance character education in your context.
