Foundations Module C: Conscious Construction of an Inviting School Climate - guides the entire staff in creating and sustaining a school environment that makes all students feel welcomed and valued. This process includes developing Guidelines for Success, a set of behaviours and traits that provides a common language and common values among staff, students, and parents. This module explains how and why to maintain at least 3:1 ratios of positive interactions and covers the importance of regular attendance and strategies for improving attendance. Strategies for meeting the basic human needs of all students are also discussed. Finally, the module outlines how to welcome and orient staff, students, and families who are new to the school in a way that connects them to the school community.
The module includes DVD inservice presentations by Dr. Sprick and colleagues and 8 copies of the related study guide and CD of reproducible forms and examples from real-world Foundations implementations.
