Character Counts!
In 1998, the St. Johns County School District, along with area businesses, youth organizations, and civic groups, selected the national character education program of CHARACTER COUNTS! as a countywide initiative to instill positive character traits in our young people. Each fall during the national observance we honor area businesses that have contributed to the CHARACTER COUNTS! The effort, and in the spring, the district sponsors the annual American Youth Character Awards program to recognize high school students of good character. As adults, we are responsible for modeling appropriate behavior which has been proven as the best way to teach character in others. Several years ago, the SJCSD became the first school district in Florida to implement Pursuing Victory with Honor in all of its athletic programs. Character education is an important part of every School Improvement Plan, a major component of each Student Code of Conduct and our Strategic Plan. https://ccstjohns.com
Response to Intervention (RtI/MTSS):
Response to Intervention (RtI) has been described in Florida as a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) for providing high-quality instruction and intervention matched to student needs using learning rate over time and level of performance to inform instructional decisions.
Phase 1 of implementation for Problem-solving and Response to Instruction/Intervention, came to a close in 2011. Phase II of the statewide implementation of MTSS has emerged. Read more about the history and future of MTSS in Florida.
