Anyone who works with kids in grades K-12. From a building level the ideal team consists of an administrator, counselor, Intervention Specialists, PBIS co-ordinators and influential teachers from your building. This training truly is for everyone that works with students, we have worked with multiple schools that have sent classified staff such as front office staff and custodians.

From a district level anyone that oversees Elementary or Secondary Curriculum would benefit as well as anyone that is involved in developing a school’s climate and culture so Superintendents, PBIS Coaches, MTSS Specialists, Special Services and Guidance Administrators would benefit from attending.

You can read more about what is covered at a training on this page. It is a robust day designed to provide the tools and inspiration for this critical work of teaching the Whole Child. Ideally, a school will send a team from their school who will go back and be champions for the CharacterStrong work happening in the building to be implemented effectively in their school. Due to COVID these trainings are now virtual until further notice.

One of the biggest differences is with Staff PD, we come to you and work with your entire staff. Our Educator Conferences are hosted by CharacterStrong in various locations and school teams and individual educators come to us. Due to COVID both Staff PD and Educator Conferences are now available virtually as well.

In terms of content, a CharacterStrong Full Staff Professional Development uses the CharacterStrong Circles of Culture (Clarity, Competence, and Consistency) as a framework to talk about social emotional learning, character development, and effective school-wide implementation. Our Educator Conferences are more of a “train the trainer” model and meant for school teams to learn how to take both the philosophy and practice of CharacterStrong back to their schools and keep the work moving forward. These trainings are the only place where our signature S.E.R.V.E. Model is taught - a framework for low-burden, high-impact strategies that help to systematically keep the school-wide work around culture and climate development moving forward to positively affect adult and student behavior.

Our Educator Conferences focus on our theory of change. Our Relaunching Relationally Roadmap Training focuses heavily on building relationships. Our Whole Child Conference will be a two day training focused on how to build this work sustainably with a 3-5 year vision of implementation and culture building with experts on equity, MTSS, leadership and more.
