This presentation discusses strategies implemented at Turner Ashby High School to foster a positive school culture through effective discipline and empowerment of faculty and students. By gathering feedback from surveys, analyzing data on school behavior, and implementing positive reinforcement strategies, the school has seen increased positive interactions and improved discipline practices. Key initiatives include faculty incentives, new policies on tardiness and communication, and events that engage both students and faculty. The outcomes emphasize the essential need for faculty involvement and recognition.
