Partnering with organizations to create flourishing learning and work communities since 2010!

Leadership Advancing Character and Culture in Schools (LACCS-pronounced "laces") is a network of educators dedicated to developing leaders from education and school-adjacent organizations through character education.  LACCS retreats focus on growing a healthy flourishing culture and climate within the organizational community.  LACCS is made possible through a partnership between Alverno College and the Wisconsin Character Education Partnership (WCEP).

LACCS coaches leaders to be intentional in their efforts to exemplify universal ethical virtues such as integrity, honesty, justice, kindness, and respect. It also assists schools and organizations in developing and delivering character through culturally relevant comprehensive frameworks. 

Enrollment in LACCS give schools opportunties to engage in-person and virtual sessions; to work with national and local experts; to be recognized for Promising Practices; and to achieve State Schools of Character designations.
