Webinar 6 March 29, 2012 Richard Benjamin, Ph.D, Senior Training Consultant and School Transformation
Specialist; Thomas Panter, Middle School Social Studies teacher Using Character Development to Foster Academics
This webinar’s focus is on the delivery of challenging academic curriculum where the explicit teaching of character
strengthens academic learning and character development. Specific attention is given to strategies leading to high levels
of student engagement and techniques for community buy-in. Examples from exemplary schools including NSOC elementary, middle,
and high schools are utilized, with specific illustration of certain academic standards, generally considered to be very important

Webinar 7 April 12, 2012
Richard Benjamin, Ph.D, CEP Senior Training Consultant and School Transformation Specialist; Thomas Panter, Middle School
Social Studies teacher
Using Character in the Curriculum to Build Meaningful Academics and Social Skills
Focus is on the benefits of challenging academic curriculum and the inextricable relationship with character development.
Here social-emotional learning skills manifested through responsible decision-making, social awareness and more, plays a supportive,
but inseparable role with academic standards and goals. Illustrations of exemplary strategies for satisfying standards will
bridge to the development of 21st Century and employability skills. This process is illustrated at the elementary, middle,
and high schools. Explicit attention is given to the transition from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation, and the academic and
character development benefits of high-levels of academic service learning.
