  1. The Science of School Connectedness:Ventura County Data Kelly Lara, M.A., VCOE Prevention Coordinator Heidi Christensen, PhD, VCOE Educational Research

  2. Pyramid Mixer • Review the pyramids at the table • Select one to discuss briefly • Synthesis discussion into a one sentence summary to share

  3. Workbook Purpose • Help members of school communities use their survey data to create supportive school climates that enhance profession outcomes for staff, academic and social-emotional outcomes for students, and involvement outcomes for parents • Assist school communities with closing the achievement gap

  4. Focus and Information • School Climate and why it matters • Assessing data related to Closing the Achievement Gap (CTAG) • Strengths-based approach/framework • Resilience • Focus on HOW, not on WHAT • Addressing the needs of migrant education and special education students • Using the workbook • Sources • Resources • Targeted strategies

  5. School Climate: Three Areas of Focus Related to CTAG • Equity of Expectations and Support • Race: Equity and Respect • Cultural Relevance: Education and Curriculum

  6. Steps to Using the Workbook for Improving School Climate Step 1: Make predictions about what we think the data will show. Step 2: Compare our predictions with the actual data. Step 3: Articulate what we learned.
