Organizations and individuals can partner with schools in many different ways—from delivering or coordinating direct services to students and families inside or outside the school, to offering students opportunities to participate in activities such as afterschool programming or internships, to working with schools to provide space for events or donations. Although most of the action steps within this document can be completed by all community partners, some action steps can be done only by individuals or organizations that deliver direct services (e.g. , mental health supports and physical health interventions) to students and families, but not by others. In those cases, action steps are marked with an asterisk (*) .  \nUnderstand the Importance of School Climate  \nStudents learn best when they are in an environment in which they feel safe, supported, challenged, and accepted. Research shows that when schools and districts1 focus on improving school climate, students are more likely to engage in the curriculum, develop positive relationships, and demonstrate positive behaviors.  \nStrengthening school climate can help a school:  \n Boost student achievement and close achievement gaps,  Improve relationships between students and staff,  \n Decrease teacher turnover and increase teacher satisfaction,  Improve behavior both inside and outside the classroom,  Increase students’ sense of connection to school,  \n Lower dropout rates, and  \n Improve school safety and student morale.  \nOf course, improving school climate is not something that happens overnight. It is not a “project” that you can do once and then move on. Rather, improving school climate is an ongoing process, one that takes time and requires the support of everyone in the school community, including community partners.  \n1 This document provides strategies applicable to public schools and districts, including charter authorizers, charter management organizations, education management organizations, individual charter schools, and charter local educational agencies.  \nParticipate in Planning for School Climate Improvements  \nPlanning for school climate improvement provides the foundation to ensure that a school’s efforts are targeted to meet its needs. Community partners have a key role to play in planning for school climate improvements because they interact with students and their families in various ways and can take concrete steps to improve school climate.  \nWhat Are the Key Things to Do?  \n■ Consider how your agency or organization is aligned with the goals of the schools in your community or that you work with and identify what systems you have in common.  \n■ Write up a document outlining how your organization can be involved in the school climate improvement process and what you think you can offer (e.g. , help with outreach and education, data collection, intervention identification, and implementation) .  \n■ Ask members of the school climate team how you can be involved in the planning efforts. If you are committed to this work and believe you can dedicate time and energy to planning, identifying strategies, collecting data, and sharing information with your colleagues and stakeholders, you may want to request membership on the school climate team or offer to support their work as needed.  \n■ Share information about your organization’s expertise and services and how your organization might contribute to school climate improvements.  \n\n| What Does This Look Like\u003Cbr>When You Do the Work Well? |  | What Do You Want to Avoid?\u003Cbr>What Are Potential Pitfalls? |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\n● Thinking about how your work aligns with the school’s goals.  \n● Sharing your hopes and expectations with the leaders and listening to t","cbCaikRIMgkS7RzC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikRIMgkS7RzC","pdf",510079,"English","# Understand the Importance of School Climate\n# Participate in Planning for School Climate Improvements\n## What Are the Key Things to Do?\n## What Does This Look Like When You Do the Work Well?\n## What Do You Want to Avoid?
