Answer 1

Answer:

To learn, children and adolescents need to feel safe and supported. Without these conditions, the mind reverts to a focus on survival. Educators in high-performing, high-poverty schools have long recognized the critical importance of providing a healthy, safe, and supportive classroom and school environment. At Port Chester Middle School and other HP/HP schools, this means all forms of safety and security while at school—food if hungry, clean clothes if needed, medical attention when necessary, counseling and other family services as required, and most of all caring adults who create an atmosphere of sincere support for the students' well-being and academic success. When students who live in poverty experience comprehensive support that works to mitigate the limiting, sometimes destructive poverty-related forces in their lives, the likelihood for success is greatly enhanced.

Comprehensive support uses the needs-based approach and "whatever it takes" mind-set discussed in Chapter 7. Striving to create and maintain a healthy, safe, and supportive learning environment for every child, leaders in HP/HP schools adhere to the key principle of continuous improvement—acknowledging that the work is never completely done—and ask questions such as these to guide their actions: Is our school safe? Do we understand the influence of poverty on student learning? Have we fostered a bond between students and schools? Do we engage parents, families, and the community in authentic ways?

In this chapter, we provide background helpful in answering these questions. These same questions serve as leverage points for improving the learning environment in any high-poverty school.

A healthy, safe, and supportive learning environment enables students, adults, and even the school as a system to learn in powerful ways. Such an environment promotes innovation, inquiry, and risk taking. Moreover, such an environment reinforces and enhances the leadership capacity in the school because competent, excellent, and dedicated educators want to work under such conditions. Is your school fostering a healthy, safe, and supportive learning environment? Use the self-assessment rubric in Figure 8.1 to focus your reading and reflect on your school's current situation.
