Getting Ready for the Marathon: Preparing for School Climate Improvement During the First 90 Days
September 10, 2025 at 4:00 PM ET
Change is constant—especially at the start of the school year. Shifting regulations, budget cuts, and fluctuating enrollment can make it hard for school leaders to focus on long-term, sustainable change. But there are small things schools can do now that will have a big impact down the road, like strengthening your school climate team, building community buy-in, and mapping out available resources that will bring meaningful climate improvements within reach. In this webinar, the National School Climate Center (NSCC) team and guest experts share practical strategies for the first 90 days (and beyond) to navigate change, strengthen connections, and keep your community at the center of your school’s work.
