Although many schools simply narrate the messages from beginning to
end, the Best Practice
for implementation is using the Weekly or Monthly Themes and the corresponding
Weekly Journals. This allows students to reflect on messages they
recently heard, and it provides the entire campus with a common focus.
If using Weekly or Monthly Themes isn't appropriate for your campus,
you can simply choose journal pages at random. Schools use these
journals in advisor/advisee,. homeroom, and language arts, as well
as during detention and in-school suspension. For example, when
a student is making poor choices, you might ask him or her to complete
the journal page titled "Choices: Doing The Right Thing"
and then use it as a springboard for discussion. For an alphabetized

Project Wisdom Works!
Schools that use journals reported a greater boost to the
school climate and teacher morale, more student conversation
about character issues, and a greater decrease in student
teasing and/or bullying.
