Reaching Out for Information, Knowledge and Resources
At Guidepost #2, your school or district is taking definite steps to formulate a plan with specific targeted goals to improve school climate. An easy way is to have a representative committee (administrators, teachers, parents, students, community members) assess your school.
Have the committee members take the Quality Standards of the Character Education Partnership and then branch out into individual committees to research and report on areas that receive low ratings. Perhaps a specific evidence-based program already has a champion because someone used it successfully in another school, but few people know much about it. This Guidepost suggests that you and your leadership team have found it necessary to do some homework before you attempt to launch a new program. You have gleaned ideas from experts in the field and also have more specific information about your school or district that helps you set goals.
