Are they able to learn in an environment that is supportive, caring, engaging and has high expectations for every child? Do they feel connected to the school itself, students, teachers, the office staff, the bus driver, or the custodian? Research shows a strong link between students feeling safe at school and improved attendance, higher grades, and plans to attend college. But school safety is more than just lockdown drills and fencing. It's a comprehensive approach to improving school climate – norms, values and expectations that support people feeling socially, emotionally and physically safe. According to the National School Climate Council, a positive school climate assesses four key areas: 1. Safety: rules and norms (policies and clearly communicated rules and enforcement regarding bullying, harassment, discrimination, crisis planning). 2. Relationships: respect for diversity, caring relationships and high expectations from adults at school; peer social support 3. Teaching and Learning: Positive attitudes and relationships among school staff that foster effective working relationships, supportive teaching practices, and are academically challenging. 4. Environment: physical safety and cleanliness of facilities; students identifying with the school norms for participation; feelings of connectedness and engagement.
