Did you know that Jesus asked over 300 questions in the New Testament as a learning tool for His followers? Join Amberly Neese for an insightful seminar exploring the transformative role of questions for fostering character in students. This seminar is designed for educators who aim to create a classroom environment that not only imparts knowledge, but also cultivates integrity, empathy, and resilience. Participants will receive practical tools and lesson ideas to incorporate the power of questions into their teaching toolbox.

Increase commitment to character development and a desire to contribute to a climate and culture in your school that fosters autonomy, belonging, and competence for all! “Many hands make light the work” is an excellent approach to your school’s character education leadership and implementation. However, stakeholder voice and involvement goes far beyond helping carry the leadership load. In this session, we will explore what it looks, sounds, and feels like when all stakeholders are aware of and engaged in your character work.

This session will focus on the 4 foundational pillars of character that schools need to have in place to build a strong and clear purpose and a thriving culture and climate. The 4 pillars are Leadership, Staff Culture, Core Values and Shared Mission & Vision. Learn the importance of having a strong foundation and building a strong foundation that will support the work of social, emotional and character development for students.
