Students Create Your School's Culture Now... When STUDENTS have the tools to create a compassionate, cooperative culture, EVERYBODY WINS!
Benefactor #1
Your Students control the culture and climate of your school right NOW! Do you want them to have the tools to create a POSTIVE, Compassionate Culture?
Benefactor #2
Teachers, administrators, counselors, success coaches, and anybody who works directly with students will benefit! This Is Really An Amazing Program!
Benefactor #3
It is VERY DIFFICULT to argue that when student leaders are empowered to create a caring, cooperative culture, everyone involved benefits from that!
The ONLY way for your school to have an amazing culture is to empower YOUR student leaders to create the culture in which everybody can feel safe, valued, and significant. When you do that, your students feel like they matter; they feel connected to their school community and they experience unparalleled growth.
IF All this program did was ensure that your students felt valued and felt connected to their school community, wouldn't it be worth it to check it out?
So...what are you waiting for? Join us for a special training that explains why this is so important. Our online workshop is coming up and space is limited. You don't want to miss this!
Educators are leaving the profession faster than any time in history. The teacher shortages are profound. Some states' "Mandatory" guidelines and requirements that require us to follow them "with fidelity" (does anyone else hate that pair of words next to one another?!?) is very restrictive and drains the joy out of teaching for many teachers. Now, more than ever, we need to look to our students to help create a positive culture at school.
Let's face it, our energy is being drained more quickly than it is being refilled. Let's do something with/for our students that refills our bucket while restoring our passion for teaching and learning.
Let's empower our student leaders to invest in the incoming students and "new to our school" students.
If you consider yourself a teacher who is still passionate about the profession and have been able to resist the urge to leave and begin a new employment journey, we want you to join us for our next online training.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU...?
CLIC was designed to meet the need of positive culture development in schools throughout the US and around the world. Culture is the way an organization operates. It is what makes strategy work. Without culture, other initiatives will certainly fail.
"Culture is the reason why great organizations have sustained success. Culture drives expectations and beliefs. Expectations and beliefs drive behavior. Behavior drives habits. Habits create the future." Jon Gordon

Low Attendance During The 1st 30 Days of High School Predict Student Success More Than Anything Else
High School Dropouts Fail At Least 25% Of Their Classes In Their First Year Compared to 8% For The Rest
More Students Fail 9th Grade Than Any Other Grade... Obviously, they need more support than other students...
Teachers NEED Support Too
Teachers have a LOT to do in a day. A LOT. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could get some help with improving attendance, engagement, and decreasing discipline issues? Your help is closer than you think! Want to find out just how close it is?
YOUR STUDENTS CONTROL THE CLIMATE
Students control the culture of the school. Plain and simple. They are doing it now. And we know there is a core of students in EVERY school who want school to be a better place to be. How fantastic would it be if we started with those students to develop a positive, caring, cooperative, and successful culture? Don't you think we should do that?
DOING. ONE. MORE. THING. IS. IMPOSSIBLE
Consider all the negative behaviors you deal with on a daily basis: attendance, discipline issues, conflict, apathy... Wouldn't it be amazing if some (or all) of those went away... or were at least reduced? Would you do "One More Thing" for those results?
Well, wouldn't you? Yeah, me too!
Support Comes In Various Forms
Research has established that when students give advice to younger students about success in an area that they have experienced, the advice "giver" benefits as well as the "receiver" of the advice. This means an intentional relationship in which student leaders invest in a small group of first-year students will benefit ALL of our students! Shouldn't we be doing this ALREADY?
Is This Your Department Head?
This is the sort of fun-sucking person who pressures the administrators to squash ANY student-centered activities that "MIGHT" be engaging. He touts that his test scores will suffer if we do anything out of the ordinary... What he doesn't realize is his test scores are about to go up as a result of empowering student leaders! (Backed by research, of course! If done with fidelity...)
Student Leaders About To Welcome
This is a group of student leaders getting ready to welcome new students to school on the first day. This program is self-sustaining in that the new students who get welcomed into school on the first day want to return the favor and become a student leader who welcomes new students to school... I get goose bumps just talking about it, and you will too when your students do it for the first time! It's pretty awesome!
These Are Administrators Who Know
These administrators have realized that if they incorporate a CLIC program in their school, they will achieve a few fantastic benefits:
I want to be a CLIC leader because I remember what a positive impact it had on me my freshman year, and how it made me feel like I belong at the school. Originally, I was unsure if I was going to stay at Brooks DeBartolo, but after getting to talk with the CLIC leaders and just seeing how the school is set up like a community, I decided I wanted to stay. I am very glad I did. Brooks is a very special school, and a part of that is the CLIC program. I love the idea of CLIC and what it stands for, and I would love to be involved in it for my senior year to help others like the CLIC leaders that helped me.
I want to continue to be a CLIC leader because past CLIC leaders had such an impact on me and I would like to make an impact on the student at Brooks DeBartolo. I was so excited last year when I received the email informing me that I had been accepted as a CLIC leader. I was looking forward to freshman orientation so much! There is no way I would even dare to miss it this year! I want to show the incoming freshman what a great school Brooks DeBartolo is, because I know if I had gone to another school I definitely wouldn't have achieved what I have here. I look forward to mentoring the freshman because I remember loving the Fridays when the CLIC leaders came in during extended homeroom. Brooke always put in so much effort, Diana made me feel comfortable and gave me advice on what classes to take. I would really like to be there for the freshmen and sophomores next year.
We are looking forward to meeting you and helping you on your journey to empowering your students to do amazing things! Let's make a difference. Let's give our students a way to be remembered; let's show them how to shine light into a dark place; let's give an opportunity to a student who didn't expect it! Let's go!
