Webinar 7 April 12, 2012
Richard Benjamin, Ph.D, CEP Senior Training Consultant and School Transformation Specialist; Thomas Panter, Middle School Social Studies teacher
Using Character in the Curriculum to Build Meaningful Academics and Social Skills

Focus is on the benefits of challenging academic curriculum and the inextricable relationship with character development. Here social-emotional learning skills manifested through responsible decision-making, social awareness and more, plays a supportive, but inseparable role with academic standards and goals. Illustrations of exemplary strategies for satisfying standards will bridge to the development of 21st Century and employability skills. This process is illustrated at the elementary, middle, and high schools. Explicit attention is given to the transition from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation, and the academic and character development benefits of high-levels of academic service learning.
