School culture begins with adults, and this culture then impacts every student and their success. That’s why Renewal teachers have one priority: their students. Through the flexibility of teacher-led design teams, each classroom teacher is empowered to try new approaches, launch fun projects and think outside the box when it comes to education. And they are using data as they do so!
Research shows that participation in the arts increases student attendance and collaboration. Data proves that students who are exposed to social and emotional learning experiences continue to do better than their peers in developing and demonstrating positive social behaviors and attitudes. In the Renewal School System, we incorporate research-backed strategies like these into everyday learning experiences for our students.
