► 11 Principles Training

The 11 Principles is a framework for schools and districts on how best to develop and implement high-quality character education initiatives. The framework can be used as a planning and assessment tool to improve school climate and culture. It is complementary to other initiatives (e.g. – PBIS, Responsive Classroom, social-emotional learning, restorative practices). The 11 Principles serve as the scoring guide for the Schools of Character certification. To schedule an 11 Principles training for your school, contact Barb Bergseth at 507-389-5112 or bbergseth@synergyexchange.org.

► Schools of Character (SOC) Application Writing Support

If your school or district is planning to submit a School of Character application, we can connect you with a coach/mentor to review your draft and offer suggestions. Coach/mentors are principals and educational leaders from a National School of Character.
