The 11 Principles

Tamra Nast

The 11 Principles Framework is a guide to
cultivating a culture of character in a school.
Based on decades of research on effective schools, the 11 Principles serve as
guideposts for schools to plan, implement, assess, and sustain their comprehensive
character development initiatives. Many school leaders also use the 11 Principles as a
school improvement process.
If a school implements the 11 principles as the foundation for their beliefs, practices, and policies, then you will see an environment that focuses on character, academic rigor, and equitable practices. You cannot buy a program to create this type of transformation. It only occurs from really understanding the 11 Principles and authentically creating a "new normal."
