I've been involved with CC! for almost 15 years and I've seen children, faculty & staff and the school culture and climate transformed by the integration of CC! and the Six Pillars of Character. If your school would like to know more about CHARACTER COUNTS! please visit the website at www.charactercounts.org If you are looking for training--we'd love to have you join us in the Twin Cities for the three day certification training on June 21-23, 2010, or there are others listed on the website. As the former Assistant Director of the Institute for Character Development at Drake University (www.iowacharacter.org) and a National Faculty Member, I've had a unique opportunity to train, support and celebrate as CC! has grown across schools, communities and states. Now as a volunteer, I'm working to build a Community of Practice here in MN around CC! Whether you are implementing PBIS, Olweus, Conflict Resolution, or numerous other initiatives, CC! is a framework to address a comprehensive effort where all the separate initiatives come together with a central purpose--for adults to intentionally and purposefully teach, encourage, advocate and model trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring & citizenship thus providing our youth the opportunity to know, embrace, and show by action that they are making decisions based on ethical principles. Congratulations Dove Academy for all your efforts to positively impact character for and with your students! If you have questions email me at charactercoach@gmail.com I love to connect with anyone that cares about the character of our children!
