Character Education: The Pathway from Good to Great (Room WI Center 102 DE)

Research shows schools that have a strong focus on social, emotional and character development improve test scores and attendance rates while decreasing office referrals and suspensions. They have more success recruiting and retaining teachers, and they increase the overall sense of well-being in their communities. In this session, you will hear from leaders in Wisconsin Schools and Districts of Character that have discovered a pathway from good to great. This panel of urban and rural district-level administrators will share how they learned to leverage the principles of character education to enhance the climate and culture of their schools.
