Schoolwide themes are a powerful way to build a common language of character, as the whole school focuses on the same character quality throughout each month. All of the WiseSkills materials are organized around convenient monthly Character Themes that send consistent, positive messages to students about the importance of good character and making good choices. The schoolwide themes are taught and reinforced through a variety of classroom, schoolwide, and family activities. Classroom activities include start-of-the-day, advisory, and across-the-curriculum activities. Character Counts! schools can use WiseSkills to teach and reinforce the language of the Six Pillars of Character.
