In today’s classrooms, educators face the critical challenge of creating spaces where students feel a deep sense of belonging, are engaged in learning, and supported in their well-being. This session introduces foundational practices from CharacterStrong’s Level 1 Foundations training, designed to build the habits and skills essential for student success—while prioritizing relationships and educator well-being. Educators will explore practical, ready-to-use strategies for strengthening classroom culture, enhancing relational capacity, and aligning social-emotional learning (SEL) with academic priorities. This session will also prepare participants to pilot CharacterStrong’s curriculum and resources during the spring semester, equipping them with the tools and confidence to implement daily routines that foster connection, improve student engagement, and create a safe and supportive environment where every student can thrive. Perfect for teachers, counselors, and school leaders ready to bring sustainable, evidence-based practices into their classrooms and see immediate impact.
