House Bill 1026 mandates that every ISD and charter school teach positive character traits. Through the Texas Character Education Week (TCEW) Initiative, our goal is to create an inclusive platform where participating schools can share best practices with one another, strengthening the teaching of character-related TEKS objectives.

As the planning committee, we encourage every participating school to actively celebrate Texas Character Education Week during the third week of November. To spark ideas, we have compiled a list of activities held between 2019 and 2023. At the same time, we recognize and value the uniqueness of each school’s identity. We welcome—and expect—schools to introduce their own distinctive activities, information, and photos. This will allow us to continually refresh and expand the collection of practices for future years and make Character Education Week more impactful year after year.

Together, let’s collaborate to make Texas Character Education Week a resounding success!
