?? On the road with our Teacher Academy in Character Education (TACE)! Our February session took us inside two model Schools of Character—Lafayette High School (2024 State School of Character) and Green Trails Elementary (2022 State & National School of Character). ??? Through immersive school visits, our TACE educators saw character in action—from student leadership to positive school culture. These experiences reinforce TACE’s mission: to empower teachers with best practices that strengthen character, enhance academic success, reduce referrals, and increase job satisfaction. This was the fourth session in our year-long journey. In April, we’ll celebrate our cohort’s graduation and their commitment to shaping schools of character. ???? #TACE #CharacterEducation #ModelSchools #EducatorExcellence #CharacterPlus #TeachingWithPurpose

The Spring 2025 SELf cohort gathered for their second session last week, diving deep into their why—rediscovering the passion that fuels their leadership. ???

By aligning their vision with their schools' missions, they’re building stronger, more purpose-driven learning communities. Check out some of the inspiring mission statements they created! ???? #TeachCharacter #LeadershipInAction #CharacterMatters #SELearning
