Drawing from decades of research in school climate, character education, positive youth development, cognitive moral development, and social and emotional learning, the first part of this workshop presents framing thoughts that encourage the redesign of everyday school elements (e.g., assessments, discipline, relationships, priorities) to foster the holistic development of students, faculty, staff, families, and other stakeholders. Instead of relying solely on extraordinary initiatives (like specific curricula or additional programs), this approach calls for comprehensive change led by school leaders.
