Quotes

“I have come across three programs in my 30+ year career in education that I knew were imperative for my districts. In the 1980s came TESA (Teacher Expectation Student Achievement), in the early 2000s we found Professional Learning Communities, and today it is CharacterStrong. My staff needed assistance in learning how to navigate social emotional learning & character in teaching to the whole child. CharacterStrong hit the mark.”

- Superintendent Dr. Bill Motsenbocker
