During the past few weeks, we've covered

how to bring character into our classrooms,

though interactions with students via micro moments,

and through intentionally planned, character rich, macro structures.

And let's say you're all in.

Your micro-moment, you're on fire, and you're

using character behavior language left and right.

You're teaching a dual-purpose lesson once a week, and you've

got a number of effective macro structures in your classroom.

In other words, character's truly woven into the very DNA of your class.

This week, we want to ask a slightly different question: How do we

setup structure times to talk with kids about how they view their own character.

We have one potential structure in mind, first a little context.

A few years back we begin wrestling with the idea of improving the non-academic

side of their report card.

That document became what we initially called

a character report card Early on however, we

switched the language from report card to

growth card, and it's a really important distinction.

When you get an A in trigonometry, that

represents the mastery of a finite body of knowledge.

There's a goal and this is how close you got to that goal.

But the character growth card is different.

It isn't about mastery of a finite body of knowledge.

Achieving perma is an ongoing process with ebbs and flows.

It's not a static state that can be reflected

with just one number at one point in time.

Additionally, character skills are never fully mastered.

The character growth card is designed to facilitate a conversation about growth.

This is the current frontier of where research

is meeting practice.

We don't yet know the best way, and this is why

we're so excited that so many educators are taking this course.

The more teachers and researchers who are thinking about and working

on this, the more likely we are to find great solutions Our

theory is that you have to build a macro structure that allows

students to discuss and reflect on their own character strength and skills.

And that's facilitated

by the character growth card
