New Jersey is National Leader
in Character Education
New Jersey is one of only five states to receive a four
year $2 million federal grant under the Partnerships
in Character Education grant program, Title V, Part
D of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002. With these
funds, New Jersey established the New
Jersey Center for Character Education (NJCCE) in
2003. The center, under the directorship of Dr. Philip
Brown, is located in the Graduate School of Applied
and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University's
Center for Applied Psychology. The NJCCE helps schools
and school districts develop and implement character
education programs. The NJCCE has sponsored several
conferences held throughout the state that showcased
the work of ten demonstration sites as well as other
character education programming existing throughout
the state and nation. Currently, four of the ten demonstration
sites are working with the SDM/PS Program. They include
Jersey City, Highland Park, Cape May Special Services,
and Westwood school districts. |
