Why You Should Attend!

This is What the Experts Say:

"There has to be a good reason for me to attend a Character Education conference in the same city for sixteen years in a row. There is. The conference in St. Louis is simply the best one in the country! The CHARACTERplus people got it right with their first conference way back in 1995, and they've continued to improve on it every year. You'll hear great keynote speakers, attend valuable breakout sessions, meet caring and dedicated educators from all over the country, and go home with a lot of new tools for next school year. You'll also have a lot of fun. See you in St. Louis."
- Hal Urban, International Speaker, Author and Consultant

"This is the practitioner’s conference in character education. If you want to know how to develop a quality program or gain insights to further enhance your efforts, you owe it to yourself, your colleagues and your students to be in St. Louis this summer."
-Phil Vincent, International Speaker, Author and Consultant

“For those who want to put a jet engine on their efforts to increase achievement scores and improve the climate in their building, the Character Education conference is a must!”
-Sue Head, Executive Director, The Keeter Center for Character Education, College of the Ozarks

“The St. Louis Character Education Conference is so much more than a regional conference. It is a program of national, and increasingly international, scope that brings leading experts and practitioners to a two-day immersion in the principles and practices of character education. It is a great introduction or refresher for educational practitioners interested in fostering character development in students. We in St. Louis are blessed to have this annual event in our backyard.”
Marvin W. Berkowitz, Ph.D., Sanford N. McDonnell Professor of Character Education Co-Director, Center for Character and Citizenship, University of Missouri-St. Louis

"As the Special School District Leader for Character Education, I have had the opportunity to attend the annual Character Education conference for the last ten years. I also bring a team of teachers from our district each year. They are always so grateful for the opportunity and always leave with “recharged batteries” and a burning desire to implement their new learning. There are a wide variety of breakout presenters, something to meet everyone’s needs and interests. The keynote speakers are always top-notch, very motivational and very informative. This conference is well worth two days of your summer time. The pay off will surely be revealed in your classroom when you put the ideas you learn into practice in the fall!"
- Charlotte Nations, Character Education Facilitator, Special School District of St. Louis County
