School Climate Improvement Online Modules
The School Climate Improvement Online Modules provide an opportunity for individuals engaged in school climate improvement to practice skills, including engaging leadership and other stakeholders; analyzing school climate data; and identifying evidence-based programs.* Each module starts with some basics on school climate and then goes into an interactive activity.
The modules are one set of resources among a diverse collection of tools within the School Climate Improvement Resource Package. They accompany the release of the U.S. Department of Education’s School Climate Surveys (EDSCLS), but are designed to support users of any valid and reliable school climate survey(s), not just those using EDSCLS.
