If you're a school leader, you have problems to solve: bullying, teacher burnout, disengaged students, casual vandalism and litter, and cultural and socio-economic differences, among others. Big issues that affect a lot of people.

Researchers have found that a positive school climate can help solve a lot of those problems. Studies find that it decreases absenteeism, suspensions, substance abuse, and bullying, and increases students' academic achievement, motivation to learn, and psychological well-being. It can even mitigate the negative effects of self-criticism and socioeconomic status on academic success. In addition, working in this kind of climate lessens teacher burnout while increasing retention. All really good stuff!

But here's the catch: Creating a positive school climate is really, really hard to do, as any principal will tell you. People have minds of their own, and you can't make them feel peppy and optimistic on command. It takes elbow grease and much care to implement, simply because human motivations and needs are so complex. Here are some research-tested tips to get you started.
What does it look like?
Let's take a moment to paint a picture of positive school climate. When you walk onto a school campus, you can immediately get a sense of the school climate by watching the interactions between people and noticing the school's physical environment.

Do the teachers, students, and school leaders seem happy to be there and are they treating each other with respect? Is the school clean and orderly? Are the bulletin board displays sending out positive messages? Are students engaged in their learning?

In 2007, the National School Climate Council spelled out specific criteria for what defines a positive school climate, including:

Norms, values, and expectations that support social, emotional, and physical safety.

People are engaged and respected.

Students, families, and educators work together to develop and live a shared school vision.

Educators model and nurture attitudes that emphasize the benefits gained from learning.

Each person contributes to the operations of the school and the care of the physical environment.

So while creating a positive school climate is not easy, it's also not impossible.
Three steps to a positive climate
When building a positive school climate, it's important to remember that there is no magic formula-much will depend on the leaders' values and vision and how much everyone else gets on board with those things.

It starts with trust, which researchers say is an essential prerequisite to a more positive climate. The following steps are in part designed to build trust, mainly by giving teachers, staff, and students some say in the process-and leaders who guide the process must never miss an opportunity to prove themselves trustworthy and to facilitate trust-building between stakeholders.

Here are some research-based suggestions for school leaders on how to start cultivating a positive school climate:

1) Assess the current climate. You have to know where you're starting from in order to know where to go. And for those on your staff who might be less-than-enthusiastic about creating a positive school climate, asking them about their current experience will help get them on board because they'll feel like their voice is being heard. Also be sure to include everyone's voices: teachers, other school staff, students, parents-and your own.

There are a number of ways to assess your school climate. The Safe and Supportive Schools website provides a list of validated survey instruments -some of which are free. However, I would caution against relying on just a survey.

According to Edgar Schein, one of the foremost organizational psychology experts, a survey will not reveal people's underlying assumptions and beliefs which have a profound effect on the school climate-and those are what you need to understand in order to effect real change. On surveys, people can interpret the questions differently. For example, the statement, "I believe this school is headed in the right direction" could be interpreted in a myriad of ways. Also, it is very difficult to know which questions to ask on a survey and how deeply a person feels about a particular area.

Schein suggests meeting in small groups to examine together the school's climate. He outlines a simple method in his book The Corporate Culture Survival Guide that is easily adaptable to schools. (Note: researchers consider climate and culture to be two different constructs. However, the National School Climate Council's definition above combines the two.)

Individual interviews are also another way to get a sense of the school climate, and should be conducted by someone outside the school to ensure honesty and impartiality, e.g., a consultant or local grad student in organizational psychology.

2) Create a shared vision-but start with personal visions. Research suggests that bringing everyone together to create a shared vision of the kind of climate they want increases the likelihood that the vision will actually be carried out. But according to Peter Senge, director of the Society for Organizational Learning that originated at MIT, a shared vision must emerge from our personal visions-otherwise people won't be committed to the shared vision.

Senge defines personal vision as "a specific destination, a picture of a desired future" that is rooted in a person's values, concerns, and aspirations. For example, part of my personal vision is wanting schools to be socially and emotionally healthy places for everyone which comes from my deeply held belief that human beings thrive in positive environments.

So before creating a shared vision together, ask everyone to write down his or her personal vision. You might even have them read the section on personal vision in Senge's book, The Fifth Discipline. To ensure student participation, have teachers guide students through this process.

When you're ready to create a shared vision, it's important to create a safe space where people feel comfortable sharing their ideas. I highly recommend using a positive approach to discussion such as World Café or Appreciative Inquiry. That way, positive emotions are generated, which will help to cultivate trust amongst group members and also make everyone's thinking more creative and flexible. Be sure to include the students in whatever way possible.

3) Work together to carry out the shared vision-and make it fun! Creating a positive school climate is an ongoing process that never really ends, but it's a joyful one. However, if you find your school off to a slow start, you might try one of these simple motivating ideas that will give a quick boost of positive emotions:

"Behind Your Back." Click here for this fun twist on gossiping that can easily be done at the start of class or before a staff meeting. One participant at the Greater Good Summer Institute for Educators told us that when her school did it at a staff meeting, some long-held grudges between staff members were healed.

Gratitude Board. Provide places in the hallways and the teachers' lounge where people can post notes expressing their gratitude for each others' actions. Gratitude has the wonderful effect of helping us feel more connected to one another and also gives us a boost in our own self-worth-both important aspects of a positive school climate.

While it may seem like a lot of work, the tremendous benefits of a positive school climate far out-weigh the time and effort required. And, while researchers haven't measured it yet, I would guess that a positive school climate can also bring the joy and fun back into teaching and learning. Who wouldn't want to be part of a school like that?
Throughout this next school year, watch for articles on more specific, research-based ideas for building a positive school climate.

It's hard to imagine a time when we weren't in an advanced Technology Age and having good tech skills has never been more important. If we want to succeed in school-and in life-we must master the basic skills that most companies now expect from job applicants.

A technology teacher shares the knowledge, tools and techniques necessary for students to develop the technological literacy they need. Using math, science and technology principles, they teach students problem-based learning skills through laboratory activities that involve computers, mobile and other platforms, servers and other technology.

Technology Teacher Job Description

Technology teachers work in elementary and secondary schools, where they conduct lessons in a classroom or laboratory setting. Here are some of the duties of a technology or computer teacher:

Introducing basic computer, mobile, keyboard and Internet skills

Teaching students how to use design applications, computer-aided drafting (CAD) or manufacturing to develop technological solutions to problems

Assigning projects so that students learn to deal with real-world constraints, such as time and materials

Allowing students to unravel technological problems using a hands-on, trial-and-error approach

Encouraging creative thinking with challenging classroom projects

Helping students connect math, science and technological principles to everyday life

Technology Teachers at Work

As a computer technology teacher, your daily tasks will depend mostly on the age and ability level of your students. Younger classrooms will focus on keyboarding and understanding basic word processing and other typical office programs, as well as Internet basics.

With older students, you might offer more advanced classes in software programming, hardware, web design and programming, data processing or more advanced office programs.

Laboratory experiments for technology education students can be more complex and might involve one or more of the following:

animation

automotive technology

computer programming

digital photography

electronics

lasers

multimedia applications

robotics

Depending on the schools they teach in, technology or computer teachers might present class instruction or individualized exercises using a teacher presentation system linked to computer workstations.

Power Up With Education and Training

If you've ever wondered how to become a computer teacher, here you go: Colleges offer different computer bachelor's degree tracks. Some give education majors the option to specialize in technology, while others make technology education available as a major. You will also find colleges that offer master's degree programs in technology education studies.

Your technology teacher education will emphasize math, science, communication and teaching concepts as they relate to the grade level(s) you plan to teach. Specific course work may cover the following areas:

general physics

multimedia design

writing and communication

engineering math and design

structures and mechanics

manufacturing systems

multiculturalism

content and methods

Technology Teacher Certification Options

Certification requirements for technology teachers will vary from state to state, so check with your state Department of Education to see what's required in your area. The following three organizations work in concert to accredit academic programs that award technology teaching degrees:

The NCATE indicates three phases of teacher preparation and development to assure public trust in teaching professionals:

Attend a professionally accredited school of education

Attain your state license, which typically involves passing a state exam and meeting education and experience requirements

Earn advanced certification to demonstrate your dedication to continuous education and expertise in your field

As a technology teacher, you give each generation of students the edge they need to compete in an increasingly technological world. Through your passion and interest in this field, you will create a lasting interest among your students, who will soon be developing the future technology for the next generation of students.

Summer vacation is either here or right around the corner for most school districts across the country. And for many teachers, that means a well-deserved break.

In 2015, we wrote about how teaching is one of the most demanding (and lowest-paid) professions. However, according to teachers, it's also one of the most rewarding. According to recent studies, a vast majority of teachers are satisfied with their jobs and would even recommend the career to others. The main reason? The effect they have on students' lives.

However, competitive salaries, great schools, and locations with affordable housing and lots to do don't hurt, either. GoodCall analysts looked at nearly 1,000 metropolitan areas across the country to find out - where are the best places for K-12 teachers to live and work?

The Trends
The majority of the top ranking cities were concentrated in the Midwest and the Northeast with Pennsylvania and Minnesota cities showing up the most frequently. Noticeably missing from the top 20 are cities on the west coast. The smallest ranking metro area in the top 20 is Butte-Silver Bow, Montana and the largest- Canton-Missillon, Ohio.

Read on for GoodCall's 2016 list of best places for teachers:

Methodology

Affordability: Teacher salaries in each metropolitan area were pulled from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This data was compared against the average salary for all job positions in the same area and weighed against the average cost of housing from the U.S. Census Bureau to calculate an affordability score specific to teachers. This represents 35% of the overall score.

School Ratings: School quality is important when it comes to teacher satisfaction. GoodCall also considered average weighted SchoolGrades scores for each city or town. SchoolGrades looks at schools' math and reading scores on national exams, while adjusting for socioecomic status.This represents 35% of the overall score.

Job Availability / Competition: Job competition was calculated by weighing the number of available jobs in each area against the number of resumes currently posted on Indeed.com. We also compared the total number of available jobs per 1,000 residents. This represents 20% of the overall score.

Amenities: A town or city that is great for teachers must also offer a good lifestyle outside of the classroom. For this report, we also weighed the number of arts, entertainment and restaurant venues from the U.S. Census Bureau for each town and city. This represents 10% of the overall score.
