Becoming a National School of Character is an extensive process that involves much more than the one-day site visit you mentioned. And CEP tries really hard to find schools that exemplify our 11 Principles of Effective Character Education. I hope that you have had some good experiences at Seckman. Best wishes on your upcoming graduation. Dear Bob,

I love the structure that is in place to help facilitate this program. I'm sure that you know it's key in providing a comprehensive approach to empowering students. I'm curious about the families. What essentially do they do when they meet? I will definitely check out the website as well. Since we are always looking for new ways to empower our students, I'm curious to what other great ways other schools are empowering student voice, such as the one that you just mentioned. Anybody????

In Friendswood, we recently trained selected student representatives from grades 4 through 12 to be Safe School Ambassadors®. This program trains leaders from the diverse groups and cliques on campus and equips them with nonviolent communication and intervention skills to stop violence and bullying among their peers. We're very excited about this empowerment opportunity for students; the training went very well and the family groups are now meeting bi-weekly. Here's a link to that program if you'd like more information. http://www.community-matters.org/safe-school-ambassadors/ Sounds like you’re doing a GREAT job up there in Fox C-6 District!
