School climate occurs when adults are not around! Students see, hear, and understand school climate issues in ways adults cannot. Students aren’t the problem, SYSTEMS are the problem. (It is what adults do that matters most.) Students are school climate EXPERTS and can influence their peers in ways adults cannot. DIVERSE Student Leadership Teams are the KEY

Stage #1: Adult Team Development, Planning, and Student Leadership Team Selection Stage #2: Students Collect School Climate Data Stage #3: Student Leaders and Adults Set School Climate Improvement Goals Stage #4: Student Leaders and Adults Develop and Implement Action Projects Stage #5: Formative Assessment, Leaders Work to Ensure Systemic Changes and Sustainability

Two thirds of Sullivan County schools showed significant improvement in school climate. New policies were developed; everyone was trained. Consent Decree was lifted by USDOJ. Academic achievement improved significantly, as measured by improvement in TN state test scores, in those schools that showed improvement in school climate (Preble & Newman, 2006). Every school developed School Improvement Plans that linked school climate to academic goals. Student leadership teams supported by administration and teachers can be found in nearly all schools.
