Seminar Title / ناونیشانی بابەت / عنوان الندوة : Becoming a School of Character
Abstract / پوختە / الملخص. :
In the world of today, where people hire for character and train for skills, character development and social-emotional skills play a paramount role. Schools, in partnership with families, are in a privileged position in helping students become not only smart but also persons of character.
This session will provide participants with an overview of Colegio Nueva Granada’s path to becoming recognized as a Colombia School of Character in 2020 by Character.org. Each year, this organization certifies schools as Schools of Character in the US and increasingly, around the globe, that demonstrate their commitment to the development of character through the implementation of Character.org’s 11 Principles Framework for Schools. Based on decades of research on effective practices in character education, the 11 Principles Framework serves as a guide for schools to plan, implement, assess, and sustain their comprehensive character development initiative.
Schools recognized as a school of Character have implemented a comprehensive approach that inspires their students to understand, care about and consistently practise a set of core values that will enable them to flourish in school, in relationships, in the workplace, and as citizens.
