Report: Support educators to improve school climate
Teachers play a key role in creating a positive, safe, inclusive, and supportive school climate by providing academic support, developing student-teacher relationships, and creating a safe learning environment, according to Climate Change: Improving School Climate by Supporting Great Teaching, a new report from the Alliance for Excellent Education. A positive school climate can have a wide-ranging impact on students, according to the report, from promoting learning and academic success, to better attendance and less disruptive classrooms. More effective and experienced educators often seek better-paying and more supportive school environments, according to the report. Leaders should seek strategies to encourage effective teachers to enter low-performing schools and those serving large populations of at-risk students.
