Is improving school climate on your to-do list? Do you think about it as a top-down directive or as a dialogue to build equity within the school? A healthy school environment should never be seen as an option, but instead supported as a must-have. Peter DeWitt offers leaders practical high impact strategies to improve school climate, deepen involvement in student learning, and engage a broader family network. In addition to international vignettes focused on community stakeholders and research-based practices, this book features tools such as a leadership growth cycle to help leaders build their self-efficacy; a teacher observation cycle centered on building collective efficacy; an early warning system to identify potential at-risk students; action steps following each chapter to apply to your own setting; discussion questions for use in team environments. Establishing a supportive and inclusive school climate where professionals can take risks to improve the lives of students is vital to maximize learning in any school community.
