June 21, 2023: Preconference Workshop Online

11 Principles of Effective Character Education Training

Presented by Dr. Colin Jacobs and Ringnolda Jofee’ Tremain

Morning Training: 9am - 12pm; Optional Coaching: 1 - 3pm

Character.org’s 11 Principles of Effective Character Education training is customized to help school teams learn how to move the character education initiative forward in their schools and identify major areas for planning. The program's principles create a framework that incorporates all aspects of school programming with a focus on embedding character education throughout the curriculum and culture of the school. This training encourages teams to reflect on the needs of their individual schools as they relate to the 11 Principles Framework. It is beneficial for schools that are just getting started as well as for schools that are looking to enhance existing programs.

The afternoon includes time for teams to receive coaching, feedback, and time for action planning.  This time will benefit both schools beginning their character journey and those wanting to take their next steps.

Optimal growth and planning result when school teams, including the building principal, work together throughout the day. School teams often include the character education committee and/or teacher leaders from across grade levels and curricular areas. This training will provide a solid foundation for your conference experience.

Who Should Attend the Workshop  
Teachers Coaches Administrators
School Board Members School Counselors Parents
Community Leaders Pupil Services Professionals PBIS/RtI Coordinators
 

At the next conference, participants will have the opportunity to explore the important role that character education and social emotional learning play in improving school culture and academic achievement. Through keynote presentations, preconference workshops, and breakout sessions, participants will interact online with like-minded colleagues to share and learn strategies on how to engage their students and help them develop into ethical citizens.
