Season 8 Kickoff: Three Challenges in Education - Mental Health, Behavior, & Burnout

from The CharacterStrong Podcast · host CharacterStrong

Season 8 kicks off with CharacterStrong co-founders John Norlin and Houston Kraft unpacking three challenges schools face: student mental health, rising behavior, and educator burnout. They explain why culture is "the plate," not another thing on it, and how adult behavior change drives schoolwide improvement. John and Houston also show how a cohesive MTSS ecosystem (Tier 1–3), paired with policy-aligned campaigns, attendance tools, and Future Ready content, reduces fragmentation. Finally, they preview new "assessment to action" work with Intellispark that helps leaders turn data into evidence-based next steps, so schools spend less time reacting and more time proactively supporting students and staff.   Learn More About CharacterStrong:  Access FREE MTSS Curriculum Samples Request a Quote Today!
