- Summary:
-
Well-planned, cooperative efforts to develop positive attitudes can generate improved school climate and improved student performance, as illustrated by the experience of the Duval County (Florida) Public Schools. The district's marketing efforts focus on progress reporting and performance recognition both internally and externally. Among the elements of the program have been the establishment of high standards and competency testing for promotion and graduation, the elimination of social promotion, the initiation of academic competition and academic coaches, the provision of support to potential National Merit Scholars, and the generation of high parent involvement. The improvement in students' academic achievement as measured by standardized and national tests has been dramatic. The effort depends on teachers' abilities to motivate students, and this ability hinges in part on student attitudes. These attitudes are in turn affected by teacher attitudes. The Duval County program selects specific areas for improvement each year, and seeks national recognition for those contributing to its success. (PGD)
