School Climate: Why Is It Important?
presented by
Terry Pickeral
What are the standards for school climate?
How is it created and sustained?
Participants will be exploring the importance of school climate in dropout prevention and school improvement. School climate is the quality and character of school life. It is reflected in the values, norms, beliefs and behaviors of students and adults engaged in education. Research consistently demonstrates the impact of school climate on student development and performance as well as social, emotional, intellectual, and physical safety; positive youth development, mental health, and healthy relationships; higher education rates; school connectedness and engagement; academic achievement; social, emotional and civic learning; teacher retention; and effective school reform.
