Synopses & Reviews
The central purpose of the book is to help school leaders improve school climate and learning through the engagement of student leaders and teachers. Organized around the principles of the SafeMeasures(TM) Collaborative Action Research Process that involves student-led school climate data collection and action planning, this book helps schools develop the capacity for sustained improvement in school climate and, as a result, improved academic results. SafeMeasures(TM) provides both a leadership model that includes students and teachers working together to collect and analyze school data, and an action planning and implementation process that results in changes at the school and classroom level to impact climate and learning.
The SafeMeasures(TM) School Climate Improvement process was developed by Dr. William Preble and his colleagues at Main Street Academix and is being supported and advocated by the NH Department of Education, the TN Department of Education, and the US Department of Education as a research-based technical assistance process that has proven to be effective in developing capacity in schools for student and teacher leadership for school improvement both in school climate and student learning.
