School Climate Transformation Grant
School Climate consists of the norms, goals, values, interpersonal relationships, teaching and learning practices, and organizational structures. Building strong foundations is key to transforming the climate and culture of your school. When implemented with fidelity, a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) directly impacts the overall climate of a school by creating environments that support the success of ALL students.
Sustainable school climate transformation integrates positive behavior interventions and supports with social-emotional learning and prevention programming to form a social-emotional-behavioral MTSS. Below you will find resources and training guidance for each of the core pillars of a sustainable SEB-MTSS to foster your school climate transformation.
The SEB-MTSS resources are divided into sustainable teaming systems for school climate teams, Evidence-based practices for school-wide implementation, and data-based decisions to help teams use data to drive the MTSS framework. Social and emotional learning and prevention are best practices for positive school climate.
