What Is Character Education?

Texas Character Education

Character education is the process by which students learn to be productive members of society through the teaching of core values such as character, responsibility, success skills, trustworthiness, respect and citizenship.

Based on decades of research on effective schools, Character.org developed a framework of 11 principles to guide the cultivation and implementation of character development within schools. The 11 principles include the following:

  1. A set of core values is identified and embedded into the culture of the family, school, sports team or organization.
  2. Character involves understanding, caring about and practicing your culture’s core values.
  3. Your character development approach is proactive and comprehensive.
  4. Caring attachments and relationships foster a sense of belonging and connection.
  5. There are ample opportunities for everyone to live their core values, especially with opportunities to serve others.
  6. Your culture of character strives to develop everyone’s “best self,” including the four areas of character (moral, civic, performance and intellectual).
  7. A culture of character emphasizes intrinsic motivation rather than recognition or material rewards.
  8. Everyone shares the responsibility to model, practice and uphold the core values.
  9. All stakeholders are encouraged to take a leadership role and suggest ways to embed and practice the core values.
  10. Your character initiative engages a range of partners (family members, parents, community members, etc.).
  11. Core values are reaffirmed or revised each year to ensure that your character initiative is always improving and growing.

Mental Health Awareness for Students

Young people’s mental health has reached a critical breaking point. In October 2021, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) and Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) declared a national emergency in children’s mental health, stating that the pandemic “has intensified this crisis: Across the country we have witnessed dramatic increases in Emergency Department visits for all mental health emergencies, including suspected suicide attempts.”

In December 2021, the U.S. Surgeon General released a public health advisory containing findings related to the mental health of young people before and during the pandemic. According to the advisory, there was a 40% increase in “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness” among youth from 2009 to 2019. It also states that in 2016, roughly half of the 7.7 million children with treatable mental health disorders “did not receive adequate treatment.”

Mental Health Awareness for Students
With Suite360 Mental Health & Prevention, schools can support students with evidence-based lessons that help them understand and improve their mental health and wellness.

Through professionally developed resources for students, staff and families, schools can provide mental health awareness tools and resources that students can use immediately to proactively care for their own mental health and respond appropriately when they or someone they care about is in need.

Additional Benefits
  • Scaffolded lessons present in-depth, professional research and strategies in a format students understand
  • Information is presented in an age-appropriate format
  • Lessons take students’ cognitive and emotional development into consideration
  • Interactive digital lessons keep students engaged with relevant and modern content
  • Companion lessons are available for staff and families

2021-2022 Scope & Sequence Document

Suicide Awareness & Prevention Professional Development

No one wants to talk about suicide. It’s an unpleasant topic that makes most people feel uncomfortable, especially those not trained in mental healthcare. Tragically, suicide is affecting our schools at alarming rates. In fact, suicide is the second leading cause of death among school-age students.

Suicide is preventable, and it’s time to make prevention a priority in our schools.

Navigate360’s Suicide Awareness & Prevention Professional Development reduces the stigma of suicide and improves the effectiveness of prevention programs by providing school staff with an expert-authored curriculum.

Through a partnership with Dr. Scott Poland, professor of psychology at Nova Southeastern University and international expert on youth suicide prevention, we created a comprehensive Suicide Awareness & Prevention eLearning program for school staff that is aligned to Florida’s S.T.E.P.S. framework.

Suicide Awareness & Prevention Professional Development
Designed for today’s environment in which time is at a premium and flexibility a must, this training program offers highly engaging online modules, helping to easily meet educators’ and mental health providers’ requirements for suicide prevention professional development.

“Suicide is a challenging topic. The training program exceeded my expectations, covering important subjects and providing critical action steps for our team. We need to do everything possible to prevent suicide and help our students.”
