Community Implementation Kit
Community Training Flash Drive
The Community Component is
a wonderful way to involve parents in a school's character education
initiative. The Community Training equips parent volunteers
to work with local organizations to arrange ongoing career
speakers and service projects throughout the year. Speakers share with
students about their careers and how they demonstrate good character,
while service projects give students practical opportunities to apply
the character skills they are learning. The WiseSkillsK-12 curricula includes suggested service project ideas for teachers.
