School climate refers to the quality and character of school life. #FLedChat

A1: Climate can be in a given moment. Culture withstands the test of time. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@amybrowns Which one are you attending? North FL or South FL #FLedchat

cgibbs10 Jun 8 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Schl culture is the set of norms, values and beliefs that make up the 'persona' of the schl. #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@kmhmartin A1: climate is what you feel when you walk in, which is impacted by the culture within. Culture influences climate. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@cgibbs10 Hi Christopher! #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@amybrowns Great! I'll see you there. Several of us in #FLedchat tonight are on the planning committee. (@kmhmartin @jsweatscience)

jsweatscience Jun 8 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: climate is how I feel in the school. Culture deals with the people and activities that make up the school. #FLedChat

wmjackson Jun 8 @ 8:12 PM EDT

#FLedChat this Saturday I'm speaking at the Man Up for Health seminar and of course it is on #SocialMedia #SWAG

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1. Climate is the way a school feels. School culture is deeper, with threads spreading out into the larger community. #FLedChat

DrHarrisonMcCoy Jun 8 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Jumping in late. Just discovered #FLedChat

SteeleThoughts Jun 8 @ 8:13 PM EDT

The climate is the feeling of the school. Culture is the values that drive the school. #FLedChat https://t.co/YHMwVrjmMl

DrHarrisonMcCoy Jun 8 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: Saw someone write this week that culture happens even when you aren't there. #FLedChat

SteeleThoughts Jun 8 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: Culture determines climate. #FLedChat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1 Climate is like a thermostat the temperature can change or fluctuate. Culture is the unshakable values and beliefs of a school. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Here is question 2! #FLedChat https://t.co/Hb0cebueRn

drmcgettigan Jun 8 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A strong positive culture effects a positive climate - essential to lifeblood of school #fledchat https://t.co/KvhqLSSjPK

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Here is question 1! #FLedChat https://t.co/w0ulrOuUbc

cgibbs10 Jun 8 @ 8:17 PM EDT

School culture is influenced by a school’s external context. #FLedChat

FirstAtBat Jun 8 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: It certainly can have its influence if we allow it. I think the degree is up to our attitude and response. #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@kmhmartin Good Q. I say yes. school is a collective body of students. Passions. Desires. Values. Involved parents extend class #FLedChat

jsweatscience Jun 8 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: yes: the stresses (or lack of) that students and teachers experience affect both to a great extent #FLedChat

SteeleThoughts Jun 8 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: Home env. always impacts school but school culture can overcome the baggage brought by students. Culture starts with Principal #FLedChat

cgibbs10 Jun 8 @ 8:19 PM EDT

That home life is what we want. We just need to use it correctly in our schls and not look at the neg. #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@kmhmartin I believe the degree is decided by how much we involve our parents. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2: I think home life/culture has a huge influence on the school. After all, the school wouldn't be a school without the students. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2. I think it is strongly influenced by external factors. At least that has been my experience. #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jun 8 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Subcultures within a school also play into effectiveness - older Ts, young Ts, parent groups - do they all buy into the mission? #FLedchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2b: I also think the school culture can have a huge impact on Ss home life as well. Two way street. #FLedChat

drmcgettigan Jun 8 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Fab Q- a bad school culture can't last in a tight community, great school culture cannot last in neg comm #fledchat https://t.co/OcfZukoXg1

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Here is question 2! #FLedChat https://t.co/Hb0cebueRn

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:22 PM EDT

I'm going to keep this moving tonight, so Q3 coming soon! #FLedChat

SteeleThoughts Jun 8 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: Schools will never have a great culture if they allow external factors like home and SES to be an excuse. #edchat #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@SteeleThoughts Very true. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Question 3 here! I am really soaking in what you all are saying. This has become a focus for me! #FLedChat https://t.co/vGt5q4uozF

dene_gainey - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@kmhmartin check out another school's climate. #survey students/teachers/parents. Engage all stakeholders. Learn and build. #FLedChat

jsweatscience Jun 8 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: parent involvement, positive and uplifting activities to engage the community, and praise for positive actions #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jun 8 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3. It all begins with relationships and common focus on mission statement and vision. #FLedchat https://t.co/R2GnKkzxcS

midskoolmot Jun 8 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3: we have implemented a #successday at our school to promote good behavior #FLedChat

Erudite_Edu Jun 8 @ 8:26 PM EDT

#Schoolculture is one of the most important factors behind the success. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3: Hold firm to high standards. Encourage, build relationships, listen to the stakeholders. #FLedChat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3 One thought: changing attitudes of "us" against "them". Schools sometimes have to go the extra mile for Ss & families. #FLedChat

wmjackson Jun 8 @ 8:27 PM EDT

#FLedChat A1. Climate is the atmosphere when you walk in a sch, culture is the diversity of the presence of the students. They feel good

cybraryman1 Jun 8 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3 Involve all parties (#stuvoice, staff, parents) in creating good school climate/culture. Listening pg https://t.co/trnWaLsi33 #FLedChat

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@midskoolmot I would love to know more! #FLedChat

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@mjjohnson1216 Yes, relationships are key! #FLedChat

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@cybraryman1 Thanks, Jerry! You are amazing! #FLedChat

FirstAtBat Jun 8 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3: I found that getting our staff to look at getting connected has started a change. #FLedChat

Erudite_Edu Jun 8 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A productive #SchoolCulture must include all actors like teachers, students, families in a harmony. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@Celeste_Clemons Yes, that whole "us against them" idea needs to go far away! #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat You are doing a great job at getting them moving. Keep it up! #FLedChat

SteeleThoughts Jun 8 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Focus on core values, identify vision, cultivate collaboration, raise expectations, personalize data, and bring positive energy. #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jun 8 @ 8:29 PM EDT

There certainly are many books out there written on this topic. #FLedchat https://t.co/BEkooMrDb7

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat Are they connecting with other Ts, with parents, or both? #FLedChat

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@mjjohnson1216 I'm adding this one to my reading list! #FLedChat

SteeleThoughts Jun 8 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Awesomeness is a CHOICE! That has to be the mindset of everyone in the building. #FLedChat

wmjackson Jun 8 @ 8:32 PM EDT

Question 4 in just a minute! #FLedChat

CCEagleLibrary Jun 8 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3: Take the time to listen to stakeholders, especially students. Ask what are we doing well? Where do we need to improve? #FLedChat

FirstAtBat Jun 8 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Our theme was "Get Connected" and that took many forms. We used the book What C.E. Do Differently #Fledchat https://t.co/c7AgUhqZq7

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat Are they connecting with other Ts, with parents, or both? #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jun 8 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3.Celebrating small successes along the way with others also plays important tole in changing the tide. #FLedchat https://t.co/BMR895nMDT

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Here is number 4! #FLedChat https://t.co/ATFSMbuybL

TTMobile_us Jun 8 @ 8:35 PM EDT

#FLedChat is now trending in USA, ranking 50

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@cgibbs10 @mjjohnson1216 Yes, it really would be! #FLedChat #PTELearns

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@kmhmartin Yes it does I don't get to choose my Ss no more than they get to choose me.We make it work regardless.Ss first attitude #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A4: Buy-in is everything. All stakeholders are important. If any group doesn't buy-in, then it won't work. #FLedChat

jsweatscience Jun 8 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A4: buy-in is vital. Must include interaction between admin, teacher, parent, student and community to see positive change #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@kmhmartin I have to say that the students are the biggest benefiters. However, all play a vital role to any level of impact. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A4. I think it is imprtant to get buy-in from all. I also think getting it from Ss first is key. They are the ppl we see everyday. #FLedChat

FirstAtBat Jun 8 @ 8:38 PM EDT

Seen admin share things as a "good idea" and it goes no where When they embrace, encourage and expect it makes a difference. #FLedChat

SteeleThoughts Jun 8 @ 8:38 PM EDT

Buy-in is huge! Start with your superstars ... they will help you transform the culture. Takes teamwork. #FLedChat https://t.co/WmfDFmtHBw

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Here is number 4! #FLedChat https://t.co/ATFSMbuybL

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@Celeste_Clemons Even when the group is a tough one. They are still our kids! #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jun 8 @ 8:39 PM EDT

cgibbs10 Jun 8 @ 8:41 PM EDT

Anyone experience a change in climate at their school? Interested in hearing more! #FLedChat

midskoolmot Jun 8 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4: I think buy in is the most important. Without buy in, you're just spinning your wheels #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jun 8 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@SteeleThoughts Couldn't agree more! #FLedchat https://t.co/i8KfVqgBM0

CCEagleLibrary Jun 8 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4: Buy in is critical. Without it, is wimming against the current. Ss are the focus of all we do, so they should be at the top. #FLedChat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@kmhmartin Yes, yes, yes! Even when... especially, even when! #FLedChat

@cgibbs10 You are so very wise! #Fledchat https://t.co/mKmkNUY01r

kmhmartin Jun 8 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5. Pt. 2 I think the invitations need to be seen as genuine. Sometimes I hear Ts say they want families to come in then complain. #FLedChat

@SteeleThoughts Great idea! I may just share that with my Admin. #FLedChat

@kmhmartin When I think of brand, I think of Dole as the brand of Pineapple. It tells the nature of what is contained inside. #FLedChat

@kmhmartin So yes, we identify what makes us who we are and me make it. #FLedChat

A6: Yes. Build it around heartbeat of the school's values. Make it tangible in word, action, deed. #FLedChat https://t.co/dkZ6lmYOjO

A6: I think the branding comes from word of mouth my Ps and Ss. If they spread the good word there's a pos culture #FLedChat

#FLedChat will be archived later tonight and can always be found on our website. https://t.co/2K3B32lvQ6
