The concept of “school climate” has been defined in a wide variety of ways in the education research literature over the last thirty years. It has been equated with “the ecology of the school,” “a safe and healthy school setting,” “classroom participation structures,” a “caring school environment,” and the “culture of the school.” In recent years, school “climate” has been equated with “personalization.” More specifically, this involves making impersonal secondary schools more personalized for students by transforming the learning environment through reduced class size, theme-based curricula, and newly developed advisory programs.
