Standard 5

Cultivate an inclusive, caring, and supportive school community that promotes the academic success and well-being of each student. Education leaders build a school culture and climate that supports students being known and valued. The learning environment is personalized so students feel encouraged to engage with others as active learners. In such an environment learners are willing to take chances in their learning since a support system has been built to reinforce student learning. Effective leaders:

• 1. Build and maintain a safe, caring, and healthy school environment that meets the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs of each student.

  2. Create and sustain a school environment in which each student is known, accepted and valued, trusted and respected, cared for, and encouraged to be an active and responsible member of the school community.

  3. Provide coherent systems of academic and social supports, services, extracurricular activities, and accommodations to meet the range of learning needs of each student.

  4. Promote adult-student, student-peer, and school-community relationships that value and support academic learning and positive social and emotional development.

  5. Cultivate and reinforce student engagement in school and positive student conduct.

  6. Infuse the school’s learning environment with the cultures and languages of the school’s community.

PSEL Standard 5 Summary

Standard 5 focuses on effective leaders who promote "inclusive learning" communities that supports the academic success of all students. An effective leader builds and maintains a safe, caring, and healthy environment conducive to learning. Standard 5 emphasizes the importance of all students interacting as members of a diverse school community. Leaders are tasked with providing support for teacher/student positive interactions and also creating model school culture that exemplifies positive social development amongst students. An effective leader gives students autonomy to be creatively expressive while valuing each others differences through an academic culturally relevant curriculum that aligns with state standards.
