2. Investigate programs, including but not limited to, Community of Caring and/or Responsive classroom and origins to identify a program for use in the district.

3. Develop and provide a mechanism by which each grade level team can quantify and evaluate opportunities to provide character education during classroom instruction.

4. Develop and implement a tool by which each building can assess and evaluate the Character Education program once instituted.

5. Investigate opportunities to engage families and community members as partners in character education (i.e. guest speakers, Community Links programs, etc.) and explore mechanisms to increase student/family participation.

6. Review and revise, if necessary, building specific Codes of Conduct to ensure continuity of expectations with regard to character education. || Report on the work for this goal relates to most if not all of the six Strategy 1 Activity Steps: · Pine Road o Restorative Practices § Teacher Training § Implementation building-wide o Town Meetings held once a month § Led by principal § Focus on various themes in char-acter education
