Curriculum Readiness Training

The Challenge: Educators are busy. Even though 96% of educators say they think that we should dedicate time in school to social, emotional, and character education (McGraw Hill, 2018), many struggle to fit it in the day with all of their other responsibilities.

How We Can Help: The WHY and the HOW training not only establishes shared motivation and language around social, emotional, and character education, but it also equips educators to implement CharacterStrong’s flexible and easy-to-use curriculum and resources.

2 Hour Virtual Trainer: We recommend bringing your full staff into a space where the CharacterStrong Trainer can be projected on a big screen with quality sound so that folks can respond, in person, to the prompts, reflections, and activities together. If this is not possible, individual educators can log in if necessary from separate spaces.

3 Hour In-Person Trainer: The session will be delivered by a presenter in person in your building for elementary or secondary staff. We recommend bringing your full staff into a space where they will have the ability to sit, take notes, and move around to engage in our activities.

The Challenge: Schools working to implement programs and practices naturally experience what change management expert Michael Fullan calls an “implementation dip.” This happens in the months following when the initial excitement of implementing something new wears off and people begin to encounter challenges.

How We Can Help: Our Level 2: Focusing training is designed to combat the implementation dip by facilitating meaningful collaboration to solve for educator-identified challenges, refocusing our purpose with behavior and brain research, and strengthening best practices.
