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.
