Character Education/Leadership Program |
|
The District is launching a comprehensive character education program that addresses the “Pursuing Victory with Honor” component of Character Counts! and which adds two additional elements to the student athlete component. The first is the inclusion of student auxiliary groups. The second element is leveraging student athletes and students participating in support groups as ambassadors. What are
the “Six Pillars of Character Education”? Who will
be trained? Each group will be trained to incorporate the “Six Pillars of Character Education” into lesson plans/practices and events. Where & When? On May 28th we conducted the first in-service training at Instructional Resources. Summer school program teachers/coaches attended this six-hour course taught by the Josephson Institute of Ethics. Our goal is to ensure that
students conduct themselves accordingly and understand the importance
of values and ethics both on and off the school campus. |
