Proposal for School Character Education

Date of Artifact: Oct. 2024

Course #: EAD520

Rationale: This presentation aligns with ELCC Standard 2 by fostering a nurturing, inclusive school culture through the Character Counts program. ELCC 2 emphasizes promoting a positive learning environment, collaboration, and professional culture—all of which are addressed through the program’s focus on ethical values like trustworthiness, respect, and responsibility. By integrating character education, the school cultivates an environment that supports both academic and personal growth, crucial for middle school students. Additionally, the RTI framework ensures individualized support for students needing targeted assistance, reinforcing inclusivity and meeting diverse needs. Through structured character education and supportive interventions, this plan directly supports a healthy school culture, positively impacting student behavior, peer interactions, and overall well-being in alignment with ELCC Standard 2.
