Character education conference April 8
A prominent speaker, awards to exemplary local schools and workshops on professional ethics and decision-making are part of the 27th annual Conference on Character and Civic Education sponsored by California State University, Fresno’s Kremen School of Education and Human Development.
The all-day conference, which begins at 8 a.m. Friday, April 8, at the Fresno Convention Center’s Exhibit Hall (M and Inyo streets), is the longest-running character education conference in the United States.
