Theory of Action about School Climate Work
The following chart is intended to help support a school-based process to support a positive school climate and culture:
If we create welcoming, safe, and supportive school environments that support the whole child by:
- Utilize prevention science at the universal or Tier I level to meet the social, emotional, and mental health needs of students.
- Expanding the ability of educators to support and address the social and emotional needs of students and themselves.
- Fostering positive relationships between all members of the school community.
- Examining disparities and designing equitable strategies to address those disparities.
Then we will see...
An increase in student sense of belonging to the school community. An increase in sense of belonging will result in the following:
- Increased attendance
- Decreased behavioral challenges
- Increased student engagement
- Increased academic outcomes
- Decreased harmful behaviors by students (i.e., substance use, suicide ideation and attempt; bullying)
- Increased student SEL/wellness
