Promoting a Positive Classroom Atmosphere

Empower Learning. Inspire Growth. Build Character.

This dynamic, hands-on workshop is designed to support educators, counselors, and youth service professionals in creating positive, supportive, and engaging learning environments. Whether offered as a professional development in-service or delivered directly to students, Character Counts blends the principles of character education with experiential and adventure-based learning — all tailored for the classroom.

Through interactive activities and guided reflection, participants will gain practical tools to:

  • Foster a safe and inclusive learning environment where students feel empowered to take academic and emotional risks.
  • Apply key principles from experiential education to support student growth, engagement, and connection.
  • Use the Experiential Learning Cycle to design adventure-based lesson plans that reinforce core academic and life skills.
  • Effectively debrief and process experiences, turning fun activities into powerful learning moments.
  • Integrate adventure and experiential strategies that enhance academic outcomes while promoting social-emotional development.
  • Develop classroom experiences that build teamwork, character, self-esteem, and life skills.

This workshop is not just theory — it’s about practice, participation, and transformation.
