Course Description: "A school's climate has a direct impact on its students' abilities to achieve. Schools with a positive atmosphere encourage and welcome the participation of faculty, students, and parents, which in turn make the school successful." (from the American School Counselor Association's Taking Your School's Temperature.)

This online course will provide an opportunity to examine what a school climate consists of, look at your individual school's data, and demonstrate how to use this information to make improvements to the overall climate.

The course is designed with an emphasis on the roles of school counselors and administrators in using data to change school climate.
