Chuck Nolan and his two daughters, Monica and Julia are all teachers. They each have different teaching styles, but are similar in that they are committed to creating positive, friendly and respectful classroom environments. Chuck and his daughters love to teach their students, but they look to instill the values of respect, care and understanding. They learn from each other to see what works and then implement those skills into their communities.
