School Climate

A safe and respectful school climate is the foundation for any effective school. One Caring Adult™ works with school communities to build a positive school environment on all levels: staff to staff, staff to student, and student to student.

Staff Connections: Team Building Programs
As Plato said, "You can learn more about a person in an hour of play than in a lifetime of work." A true team-building experience can transform your staff from a group of individuals to a cohesive unit. Programs offered by One Caring Adult™ go beyond the traditional team-building experience, and provide opportunities to safely explore concerns that prevent your team from thriving. Programs may take many shapes, each one custom designed to deliver what your staff needs.

Staff / Student Connections: Setting the Foundation for Student Success
What if every student had the skills, opportunities and supports necessary to thrive? How would your community be different? One Caring Adult™ guides your staff as they explore the foundations of a strengths-based environment that encourages all students to thrive.

Student to Student Connections
A true team-building experience designed for your entire school community! Working side-by-side with their adult role models, students will have the opportunity to build connections, establish trust, and create the foundation for a safe & respectful school environment.

"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized." Haim Ginott
