We invite you to submit a proposal to present at the 2022 conference. Submit proposals electronically by February 21, 2022, using the Breakout Session Proposal Form. Please indicate if you have a preference for in-person vs. virtual presentation.

Preference will be given to proposals that:

Model integration of character education, socio-emotional learning, culture or climate rather than add-on or standalone programs.

Provide good examples of how Character.org’s 11 Principles can be lived out. View the 11 Principles here.

Indicate the content level (beginner, intermediate or advanced) and which of the 11 Principles are aligned to the proposed session.

Identify the two or three ideas that participants will take away from the proposed session.

Do not focus on the sale of particular products. Presenters are welcome to display and sell their products in the Resource Fair.

Conference registration will be waived for up to two presenters per session. Instructions on how to register will be provided with notice of proposal acceptance.
