Character Education and SEL
- Our current Buzzworthy trait is now Responsibility.
Character Dares
The purpose of the Character Dare process is to build habits of character by offering consistent, practical ways to engage in the practice of these sometimes-abstract traits. A weekly (and sometimes daily) exercise and check-in around something like kindness helps bring the character trait to life in our real relationships and provides a system for regular conversation and action.
"Responsibility" character dare choice boards will be due on April 5th.
