To facilitate learning, administrators, teachers, students as well as parents, must have a shared vision for improvement. Utilizing a shared vision model requires a collaborative focus on content, methods, preparation and assessment. Part of this process is the incorporation of student voice.  An effective curriculum offers opportunity for student empowerment socially, emotionally and academically.  Asking for input offers students control over their learning and ownership in the environment of their school. The student climate survey would be administered to the student body at the completion of the second quarter. The allows students to draw from first quarter experiences for their answers as well as it allows staff time during the third and fourth quarters to make necessary modifications.
