WINGS Educational Foundation recently was certified as a “Promising Practice” by Character.org, a national advocate and leader for character in schools and communities.
A total of 177 Promising Practices throughout the United States were certified.
The WINGS Educational Foundation promotes educational excellence in the School District of Washington by providing teacher grants, student scholarships for continued education, state-of-the-art equipment and recognition of outstanding faculty and staff achievement.
"We are extremely proud to recognize the schools and organizations that have developed and implemented a Promising Practice,” said Dr. Arthur Schwartz, President of Character.org. “Each of these programs and initiatives have demonstrated significant impact and strongly align with the principles that help schools and organizations cultivate a culture of character.”
This year’s character development practices and initiatives included peer mentoring, service-learning, and conflict resolution approaches. Many of the Promising Practices also involve parents and the local community.
Character.org will honor each 2023 Promising Practice recipient (schools and organizations) at its 30th Anniversary National Forum on November 6 and 7 in Washington D.C.
