The search is on for pedagogies that promote holistic, formative education for human flourishing. Both novice and experienced educators are designing learning environments to advance character and human flourishing, but too often do so in isolation. The result is a lack of collective knowledge about curated methods and practices of formative character education that work. Join us in this community of pedagogical practice.

How does the research on virtue, character, formative, holistic, and civic education translate into practice? What does it look like in the classroom when done well?  What can we do to bridge the theory and practice divide in formative character education? What does it mean for pedagogy to work? What can we learn from one another as we implement and share methods and practices of formative character education? How can we collect and disseminate shared knowledge about pedagogy design for formative character education while remaining mindful of the diverse contexts that contour our practice?
