Helping schools, teachers, and parents maximize the power of character
THE CENTER FOR THE 4TH & 5TH RS co-sponsors the Smart & Good Schools Initiative in partnership with the Institute for Excellence & Ethics (www.excellenceandethics.com). The mission of a Smart & Good School is integrating excellence and ethics: developing performance character (doing our best work) and moral character (doing the right thing) within an Ethical Learning Community. The Smart & Good Schools Initiative hosts an annual K-12 Summer Institute, conducts on-site trainings, carries out research, publishes the excellence & ethics education letter, and creates programs (Power2Learn™ and Power2Teach™) that help schools implement the Smart & Good vision.
