New View Publications and the Alliance for the Study of School Climate invite you to the "Transformative Connected School System Seminar" Salisbury, NC - June 27-28, 2012
Authors Perry Good and John Shindler invite you to their second collaborative seminar. They will explain the relationship between student achievement and school climate and outline the Transformative Connected School System which will enable your school to reach its full potential. Known for A Connected School, Perry Good has pioneered the teaching of Perceptual Control Theory to educators throughout the United States and abroad for the past twenty years. John Shindler, professor of education at California State University and Co-director of the Alliance for the Study of School Climate, is one of the leaders of the movement to focus on school climate as the fundamental ingredient for student achievement and school improvement.
Many of you are familiar with, have participated in, and are part of the Connected School, Alliance for the Study of School Climate, or Pilot Schools Network communities and have utilized their services, products and systems. The collaboration between New View and the Alliance for the Study of School Climate is one that merges decades of research and exceptional products, services and seminars into a new system called the Transformative Connected School (TCS).
Not all school improvement programs are alike. The TCS System is fundamentally different and superior in a number of significant ways to the many school improvement "programs" that are available today. The TCS System will enable you to understand what is limiting growth and achievement in your school or district, lay out a road map for your success and provide facilitation, training and tools to help you get there. It offers a unique model and roadmap and combines 50 years of research. The TCS System is not a program; it is a system of principle-based interventions that operate to fundamentally and sustainably educate and as a result, change schools.
