Student behavior and attitudes are critical to a school’s climate and academic success, but often students aren’t involved in school improvement planning. Emerging research shows that getting students to buy in to their school can improve trust between students and staff, reduce behavior problems, and increase academic engagement. Yet, it can seem a daunting task for educators, particularly with older students.
As part of Education Week’s 2013 “Quality Counts” annual report release, researchers and administrators talk about how to bring students into the school-climate conversation, from identifying problems to changing behavior in a webinar Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2–3 p.m. ET.
Guests include:
• Bennett Lieberman, principal, Central Park East High School, New York
• Meagan O’Malley, research associate, middle school climate initiative, WestEd
This webinar will be moderated by Sarah D. Sparks, staff writer, Education Week.
Administrators are encouraged to register now for this free live webinar.
