Who We Are

Center for School Climate and Learning

The CSCL was founded in 2010, to offer our Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) and leadership process to schools, colleges and universities across the US.  We also offer other effective youth voice and student empowerment programs, like FlagwayTM and Restorative Justice programs to client schools.

The CSCL offers professional development for teachers, student leaders, and school administrators that emphasizes youth adult partnership for school reform, youth and teacher empowerment and voice, improving school safety, personalized, student-centered learning, and educational equity.

Our programs and services are designed to provide diverse teams of students from grades K-12, as well as college-aged students, and teachers with empowering LEADERSHIP ROLES including:

  • Action Researcher
  • School Climate Leader
  • Math Literacy Worker
  • Flagway Coach
  • Peer Jurist
  • Peer Mentor 
  • School Climate Expert

Through our SafeMeasuresTM Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) Process, we help schools improve teaching and learning, re-think their school discipline systems, build teacher effectiveness, and expand student voice and engagement.  In 2022-23 we are partnering with UP for Learning and we call this new version of our program UPward Together!

Through our Game On: FLAGWAY program, we prepare high school and college-aged students to serve as Math Literacy Workers and Flagway Coaches to help elementary and middle school students build their math skills and confidence using ‘game-based learning’.

Through our Restorative Justice programs, we help middle and high school leaders and teachers work in partnership with their students to examine and improve their school discipline and social and emotional support systems.
