One of the major components of school climate is student discipline and off-task behaviors. The school reform described in our book titled "Creating a Culture for a High Performing School: A Comprehensive Approach to School Reform, Dropout Prevention, and Bullying Behavior" reduces discipline and off-task behaviors by 75%. This can add 10-15 days of instruction to a school's calendar year. Data showing tatistically signifcant improvements in school climate and test scores will be shared. One component of the reform is a character education program that involves parents and the community. One of the shortcomings of many character education programs is that it is school based and not parent and community oriented.
