Scholars learn better when they are in environments they view as safe, supportive, and positive. This means our schools and classrooms must be designed and led in ways that encourage and nurture the joy of learning, foster a sense of belonging, build trusting relationships, and encourage risk-taking and questioning that are essential to lifelong learning.

As outlined below, we will create learning environments that provide relevant content, clear learning goals, and frequent feedback and support, as well as opportunities to build the academic and social skills needed for success. Also, we will endeavor to create a strong sense of belonging and meaningful relationships with scholars to help guide them towards their greatest potential.

Commitment in Action

We commit to the following key initiatives:

• Engaging deeply with families to ensure scholars' well-being and development
• Creating a district accountability model for school climate and wellness
• Creating structures and processes for all scholars to build positive and meaningful relationships with caring adults (i.e., mentors, tutors, and volunteers)
• Researching and implementing a district-wide framework to address Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
• Fostering learning experiences that are fun and deeply engaging

Implementation Plan

Some of the initiatives will take more planning and time to implement than others. The table below outlines the estimated action plan for implementation of Commitment #4.
