Both school climate and culture play vital roles in shaping the academic and social success of students, the job satisfaction of staff, and the overall effectiveness of the institution. But what do they mean, and how are they related? The difference between school climate and school culture is that school climate is the surface-level expression of the deeper, more embedded school culture. A positive climate often reflects a strong, inclusive culture, while a negative climate may indicate deeper cultural issues that need addressing. Discover tangible steps you can take to make a positive, long-lasting impact on improving the climate and culture at your school with guidance from Dr. Adam Drummond of Center for Model Schools: http://spr.ly/6045L29RU

The roadblocks to curriculum alignment facing school districts nationwide—siloed structures, leadership turnover, and ad hoc decision-making—are deeply intertwined challenges that demand a coordinated, long-term approach to address. Successful districts use a systems design approach to examine current practices and identify opportunities to navigate these roadblocks. 🚧 By cultivating a strategic mindset, developing a strategic planning process, and building a strong organizational culture, leaders can better ensure the foundation of a strong, aligned, and coherent curriculum, instruction, and assessment system.
