A Social & Emotional Curriculum | The Character Effect™

What makes The Character Effect™ unique is that our curriculum begins with your teachers.

This social & emotional learning curriculum is designed specifically to provide teachers the self-care they need to create a thriving classroom. Engaging professional development and ongoing support from a dedicated, on-site specialist to help your school succeed. Strength-based language is incorporated throughout the school’s environment and parents and caregivers become engaged through fun family events and weekly communications. In time, all of the adults in your school’s community; teachers, parents, administration and staff, rally around your students with a singular vision of building emotional resilience and improving achievement potential. The effect is profound.

Testimonials

"I noticed my son using mindful breathing techniques that neither my husband nor I had taught him. To see this application of self-regulation, away from school, was inspiring.” On the family event…“Not only did the event bring my family together in a unique way, but it introduced me to The Character Effect™ curriculum, awakening my understanding of its impact on my child." - Parent, Sands Montessori

"Making an intentional effort to focus on children’s strengths has had a positive impact on our school. In addition to better results in academics and behavior, our students have a general sense of happiness and the entire school is more relaxed. It has given us a positive way to look at our weeks, which have rolled into positive months and a positive year." - Assistant Superintendent, CCPA

"My experience with The Character Effect™ has been very positive. I think it helps to be mindful of strengths when working with students because it can be easy to become fixated on areas of growth a student needs, but it’s much easier to reach them if we are focused on their strengths." - Elementary School Teacher
