​

Characterplus District leaders serve an important role in the school community.  As individuals who champion character education, district leaders are committed to learning evidence-based practices and processes that address the character, social, and emotional needs of students in classrooms and schools.
 
District leaders have the most impact when they work closely with district administrators to implement foundational practices as part of school improvement efforts and monitor outcomes. Character education is more important than ever. District leaders serve as conduits between districts and the collaborative work happening in the region.

 

Rachael was named 2012 FHSD Special Education Teacher of the Year, Independence’s 2018 Teacher of the Year, 2019 FHSD Teacher of the Year and 2019 Missouri Regional Teacher of the Year. She also received the 2020 Horace Mann Friend of Education award, won the 2020 California Casualty Award for Teaching Excellence and was a 2020 Missouri Teacher of the Year finalist.
