Leading Positive School and Classroom Communities For School
For School and District Leaders

Leading to Create Positive and Caring School and Classroom Communities

This is one of two classes in the "Leading to" Symposium Series that is being offered, for a limited time only, at no charge to school and district leaders as part of Center for Responsive Schools' commitment to its vision and mission to bring hope and joy to every student and every teacher in every school, every day!

School and district leaders aim to be intentional and goal-directed in providing leadership that results in positive culture and climate in their school and classroom communities. This kind of leadership requires knowledge-building and a toolbox of evidence-based yet practical solutions that can be implemented in your specific environment. Building positive school and classroom communities that support learning include initiatives to:

  • Increase student belonging and reduce absenteeism and disruptive behavior.
  • Improve teacher optimism, retention, and sense of efficacy.
  • Build positive, caring, and respectful relationships.
  • Have civil and even delightful conversations between and among students and teachers be a norm for immediate and long-term improvements.

This 3-hour professional development seminar will provide insight into how intentional leadership decisions for professional learning shapes the culture and climate of schools and classrooms and examine how instructional and discipline practices, shared norms, relationships, and school-wide expectations work together to create environments where students and educators feel valued, connected, supported, and ready to teach and learn.

You will network with other leaders and leave with fresh knowledge, ideas, strategies, and solutions for strengthening consistency, improving school and classroom communities, and supporting meaningful change across your school.
