Hello there

Hey old friends, new friends and family! Hope that each of you have had a splendid day! I am thrilled and  excited about picking up blogging again and keeping you all updated on this new journey that the Lord has placed me on. I have recently stepped away from the classroom (totally a God thing) after teaching for 5 years at a fabulous Title 1 school. This past summer I was approached with the opportunity to be the Coordinator of Character Education and Community Partners with our school district. Of course my initial thought was very similar to yours, what on Earth is that?

To sum it up quickly, I organize, teach, mentor and create lessons to develop student leadership and character education. I do not have one school or classroom, instead I travel to all of the schools in our district, all 36 of them. My day is never the same from one day to the next and I am very grateful for that. I have to brag and say that I have been blow away to see how teachers, no matter the grade level, strive to inspire students to be become the leaders that they were designed to become. We do we have some pretty creative and amazing teachers in our district.


In our district uses the CHARACTER COUNTS initiative to teach character education. Our district adopted the CHARACTER COUNTS! initiative in 1998.  Within the frame work of CHARACTER COUNTS!  is the six pillars of character that we encourage our teachers to focus on: fairness, responsibility, respect, trustworthiness, caring, and citizenship.

As I create new resources for character education I will share ideas and resources. My goal is to always test out lessons and resources in the classrooms that I visit before posting so keep checking back for resources to be updated weekly!
