Positive Learning Environments - School Counselor Pathway

CA MTSS logo Caring and Respectful Interactions

When schools integrate inclusive social-emotional instruction they can increase engagement and improve student achievement. The High Leverage Practices are foundational to this instruction.

 

"Establishing a clear, consistent, and

positive learning environment serves as

 

the foundation for all other high-leverage

practices (HLPs). It increases the likelihood

of student academic and social behavior

success, it increases educator opportunities

to engage in effective instructional practices,

and it fosters caring and respectful interactions

between educators and students."
