Reminder: Character Development & Leadership Curriculum with Joseph Hoedel on April 12

Heartland AEA will host a morning workshop on April 12, 2013 lead by Dr. Joseph Hoedel, lead advisor of the Character Development & Leadership Curriculum. Many schools use this curriculum as a stand-alone course for their freshman academy, their student government class or as an elective leadership/mentoring course. By the end of the workshop, participants will have an educated understanding of how this program aligns with the Common Core standards for English, improves high school exit exams, increases reading and writing test scores and prepares students for post-secondary success.
