In-Person Training

Character.org works directly with school leaders who want to deepen their understanding of the 11 Principles Framework.

Today, experts from Character.org travel throughout the country (and worldwide) to coach teachers, counselors, school leaders and district coordinators on how to integrate the 11 Principles Framework into every aspect of their approach to character development.

Our engaging workshops are a difference maker. We have a variety of Workshop Options to help you get where you want to go. Virtual workshops are also available!

"I truly enjoyed the 11 Principles Workshop today. I am coming away with much clarity about the 11 Principles Framework for Schools. I'm eager to learn and implement some of the strategies. Thank you, thank you!"

Jummai Adeniji Fashola – Special Education Teacher

"I think the School of Character journey is about telling each school’s story. We are in an age where the social media footprint is littered with negativity that dampens hope and can crush even the happiest of spirits. However, when we realize how much good is happening, hope is ignited, communities are changed, and lives are impacted."

Nellie Christian – Assistant Principal

Commitment

Parents need to commit to model and reinforce to their children the core values and character strengths that mean the most to them. They also need to be creative and offer meaningful experiences that illuminate how important these character strengths are to the family’s core values.

Conversations

We know “We need to talk” freaks kids out, but too often parents avoid having conversations about character, especially as children get older. While it may not be easy to talk sometimes, we know from the research that parents who avoid talking to their children about serious matters quickly lose trust and connection.

Celebration

Parents need to find ways for their children to be active participants in their own character growth. Optimal character development occurs when children begin to make self-motivated commitments to consistently practice a core value (e.g. “I want to be the kind of person who is always honest and shows up on time.”) Parents need to celebrate these moments to shape and define individual character.
