Description

Over 80% of educators report that student social, emotional, and behavioral challenges have increased, and they have taken on the stress of their students' increased needs (National Center for Education Statistics, 2022; RAND, 2022). Educators need simple strategies to improve student engagement and increase well-being overall.


CharacterStrong’s Brain and Behavior Training is focused on increasing academic engagement and supporting classroom management using a research-backed instructional framework to equip educators with easy-to-use tools that impact student behavior and school culture. These low-burden, high-impact strategies increase well-being, belonging, and engagement in all areas of a classroom and school community by introducing a consistent structure for learning that promotes powerful relationship-building while helping students find value in their learning.


5 Takeaways From the Brain and Behavior Training include: 

  • Staff Community Building--build community and collaborate to refine practices, structures, and routines. Learn from and with each other, participants will discuss ways to improve support of students, their families, communities, and each other.

  • Research-Backed Classroom Engagement--learn CharacterStrong’s signature S.E.R.V.E. Model to create consistent structures and practices that improve student engagement and increase time learning.

  • Usable Tools & Strategies--come away with tools that you can use in classrooms the next day including slide decks, easy-to-implement practices, and reflections about pedagogy to boost well-being, belonging, and engagement

  • Meaningful & Inspirational Content--come away with perspectives and ideas that reconnect you to your purpose and re energize you for the future

  • Practical Problem-Solving--identify easy-to-implement solutions for challenges impacting your school community using low-burden, high-impact practices.


This training is the same agenda as was offered during the School Culture Training in March 2024. Participants who took the virtual learning may also benefit from receiving the in-person training.
