When is the best time in the school calendar to launch Rise Character?

While the beginning of the academic year (September / October) is ideal, our modular 6-phase roadmap can also be successfully launched at the start of Term 2 (January) or as a Spring pilot program.

How much time is required from the designated School Character Coordinator?

Typically 1 to 2 hours per week. Because all lesson plans, slides, and rubrics are turnkey, the coordinator primarily monitors homeroom execution and participates in monthly check-in calls with our educational team.
