KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Learn five goals to set this year for a strong school culture
  • Find out what classroom practices develop social-emotional skills

Back to school is a perfect time to think about culture, from the classroom to the district office and beyond. Actions taken during this high-energy time can help your community get ready to sustain a learner-centered culture year-round. And it can set the tone for the kind of supportive environment needed to move your vision forward.

Download our Back-to-School Culture Toolkit for K-12 Leaders to uncover insights from other district and school leaders on:

  • How to engage parents, community members and business leaders
  • 5 goals to set for a strong school culture
  • Tips for helping students develop critical social-emotional skills needed for the future workforce
  • Guidance on aligning budget decisions to your learner-centered vision

This toolkit draws on the extensive experiences of current and former principals, superinten- dents and other district leaders who have supported their learning communities through big transformations. We’ve relied on the expertise of individuals who have devoted their profes- sional careers to determining not only how to improve outcomes for learners today, but also thinking ahead to what we need to do now for students to thrive in the future.
