Curriculum Readiness Series

What:

• The Focusing curriculum training helps staff who have already been implementing CharacterStrong refine understanding of the curriculum, improve delivery of content, and bring acquired skills beyond the confines of the CharacterStrong curriculum.

Who:

• Users with 1+ years of curricula implementation
• Users who have had the Level 1 PD.

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 the initial excitement of implementing something new wears off and people encounter implementation 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.

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.
