ESSA requires that states incorporate at least one non-academic factor—such as school climate and safety, student engagement, or others—into their accountability systems.
This research brief seeks to bring educators’ voices to the table as issues related to school climate & culture and student social and emotional well-being are increasingly discussed and debated across America. The brief seeks to display the findings of the research in an objective fashion, while wrapping up with a subjective take on the implications of the data for schools and students across the nation.
Key Finding #1: Educators see and address the interplay between student academic success, behavior, and social and emotional needs.
Key Finding #2: Even though a majority currently have a climate & culture initiative, many feel that addressing climate & culture and student social and emotional needs should be an even greater priority.
