Book excerpt: Having a wide variety of students with academic and socially diverse backgrounds could lead to school climate challenges for the students, teachers, and administrators. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect a student advisory program has on the school climate in a suburban high school. This study aimed to answer three research questions. The central research question was: What is the effect of a high school student advisory program on the school climate, students' sense of belonging and connectedness in the school community? The sub-questions related to the central research question are: How does feeling more connected to the school and building relationships influence students' perception of the school climate? How does a student advisory program at a suburban high school enhance the students' sense of belonging? How does networking with other students about the school environment affect the overall school climate? The researcher believes student advisory programs can positively influence a school's climate thus leading to students feeling more connected to their school with an increased sense of belonging. The conceptual framework reviews three themes: student advisory programs, connectedness and building relationships, and school climate.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a student advisory program affected school climate from teacher and student perspectives and school connectedness from student perspectives. The researcher gathered data using the following methods: distributing a student perception survey, a student climate survey, and a teacher climate survey; conducting student and teacher focus groups; and interviewing students and teachers. The interviews of teachers and the teacher focus groups indicated that the teachers thought the advisory program did help the school climate, and the teacher climate survey showed positive results. The results of the student survey indicated that the implementation of the advisory program increased school climate. The students stated they thought the advisory program had made a positive impact on connectedness within the school.

However, current Vermont graduation rates would indicate that public education at the high school level does not address the needs of all twenty-first century learners. Research has revealed that personalization and creating a connected environment are promising innovations for improving education for all students. One structure that supports personalization, high school advisory, provides each student with an adult advisor that knows them well through their high school years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people have become impatient with school reform and school improvement efforts that fail to include school climate. The importance of a positive school climate is emerging in current research, not only as an essential component of school reform and school improvement, but also as a necessary framework for maintaining excellent schools and providing healthy and safe schools for all students. Research strongly suggests that educators and policy makers have a lot to learn about the importance of school climate for school safety and academic success. With the growing body of research regarding school climate, it is important to study the research and understand how the psychology of school climate and how the elements of school climate can be viewed from a population-based perspective, as well as understanding the impact of school climate on individual students. This review of school climate research includes hundreds of articles and research papers of different perspectives from around the world in numerous cultures. School climate is becoming a science of education and psychology that must be studied further in order to understand the dynamic nature of learning environments, to identify elements that support or threaten the learning environment, and to learn how to improve the conditions for learning in all schools.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: One of the major questions that both urban and non-urban public school districts are faced with is the relationship between the predictors of school climate, student behavior, staff perceptions and the influence these variables have on school climate. School districts are under public scrutiny to produce positive achievement results for all students. Much research suggests that schools that are considered urban are generally considered unsafe, unproductive and unable to produce students that are competitive in a 21st century global economy. In the major urban centers, student populations are decreasing, flooding the first-ring school districts. First-ring school districts are the individual school districts that immediately border major urban school centers. What are left in the major urban districts are families that are unable to improve their situation and move out of the school districts that are generally considered a failure. One area that has been generally targeted as a method to improve student achievement is the area of school climate. Various programs in the public school setting have been instituted to positively influence school climate. Inside the school setting, there are diverse variables that can affect the efficient running of a school building: school climate, student population, discipline occurrences in a school, specific positive behavior support programs (PBS), at risk behavior intervention programs for students, academic intervention programs, staff morale and standardized testing results for a specific school district. These predictors, along with individual human development and behavior, influence school climate. It is essential to understand how these characteristics can impact school climate in an urban and non-urban setting; what policies or procedures can positively impact climate at the building level; and how can these factors can influence staff perceptions towards student achievement. Educators have yet to determine the exact interplay of the factors that predict school climate and their influence upon student achievement. Among other variables, the topic of school climate has had profound implications upon staff retention, school discipline and student academic achievement. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of positive behavior supports on school climate, specifically in relation to teacher perceptions and feelings towards positive behavior support programming; to identify the awareness of specific positive behavior supports used within a school setting; to determine the impact of these supports on school climate by measuring teacher attitude and perception about student achievement; and ultimately, to determine is there a statistical significance in staff perception of school climate elative to the school setting of an urban and non-urban school. Two-hundred and six educators were surveyed from four school district in Northeast and Northwest Ohio. Results demonstrated that working in a urban setting or non-urban setting was statistically significant in terms of the impact on teacher attitude, collegiality, achievement perceptions and awareness with regards to the tested factors that influence school climate. It was found that there were statistically significant differences between teachers working in either an urban or a non-urban setting in relation to teacher attitude, collegiality, achievement perceptions and awareness, as related to school climate. However, the effect sizes were low demonstrating that the differences were not large enough to be of a practical concern.
