The Center For Youth Citizenship’s
6th annual Character Education Symposium
Bringing Respect, Responsibility & Trustworthiness
to Student Achievement
Sacramento County Office of Education
March 24, 2004
The Symposium’s purpose was to promote the effective and
research proven use of character education in California schools.
The California Partnership for Character Education (CPCE) supported
this conference and other projects to achieve its goal of developing
and implementing a systematic approach for K-12 Schools. This year’s
emphasis was on the elementary school level and the integration
of character into the core curriculum. Participants also learned
about a model approach for grades K-6 as well as applications for
grades 7-12.
Over 75 members of the education, government and business communities
attended this year’s day-long symposium, including the CPCE
Free to Learn project school leadership teams. The Center for Youth
Citizenship (CYC) was pleased to host Mary Jane Pearson, Secretary’s
Regional Representative, U.S. Department of Education, as the opening
plenary session speaker. Featured panelists in the Luncheon Community
Connections Panel included Lawrence Brown, First Assistant United
States Attorney, United States Attorney’s Office – Eastern
District; Ron Comings, News Director, News 10; and Pollyanna Cooper-LeVangie,
Board Member, EGUSD. CYC Trainers Tim Dakin and Ken Hawkins conducted
the workshops Leading With Character and A Matter of Culture respectively.
