• TITLE: How Does Improving School Climate Support Student Achievement?
DATE: Thursday, February 25, 2010, 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. (Eastern)
DESCRIPTION: Research now shows that school climate is directly associated with student achievement. To leverage this research, join The Education Alliance for a discussion about the question, "Which factors, among the many that constitute school climate, are more likely to support student achievement?"
Many educators focus on school safety when thinking about this topic. In addition to school safety, this web briefing will focus on other climate factors essential to achievement, including: social-emotional learning (SEL), student engagement, and cultural proficiency. Specific examples of urban, rural, and suburban district efforts to improve school climate and their outcomes will be provided. School climate is now part of federal funding guidelines in both "Race to the Top" and Title I. Information about these guidelines will be included.
Audience:
The webinar is designed especially for administrators, grant-writers, and counseling staff, including social workers and psychologists. All members of school communities will benefit, however.
