Students need framework for character development
Iowa’s public school system is struggling with discipline in the schools. Teachers struggle to focus individualized attention on each student when there are disciplinary problems.
When Iowa’s young people have the benefit of a framework for character development, behavior in the classroom improves, disciplinary incidents decrease, and overall student achievement increases.
