What are my district’s next steps if accepted to the network?
Your district will work closely with Character Lab to ensure you are set up to run research activities as soon as possible.
Districts nominate and recruit the specific middle and high schools that will participate in CLRN by connecting Character Lab with school principals.
Once schools are enrolled in CLRN, each school nominates a School Research Lead, a detail-oriented teacher or administrator who will be paid and trained for their efforts to coordinate activities.
Your Character Lab contact will work with your tech team to integrate our digital platform. The digital platform enables students to engage in research activities using a Single Sign-On (SSO) which allows us to link all data points (such as age, grade level, and school) for a student. We also ask our school partners to export requested variables from their student information systems that are sent through a secure file exchange site.
