Evaluation of a Principal Training Program to Promote Safe and Civil Schools, Oklahoma, 2017-2022

The Principal and School Climate project was a National Institute of Justice (NIJ) funded study in participating schools across the state of Oklahoma investigating the efficacy of Safe and Civil School Leadership (SCSL) with an additional program called START on Time (START). START was a training program for school principals teaching them skills to foster a safe and positive learning environment for students. This training program consisted of student support as well as resources for principals to use efficacious and data-driven discipline with students. Although first developed over a decade ago, there have been no evidence-based
studies investigating the central role principals play within school
environments.

“校长与学校氛围项目”是由美国国家司法研究所（National Institute of Justice, NIJ）资助的研究，针对俄克拉荷马州多所参与学校开展，旨在评估安全文明学校领导力（Safe and Civil School Leadership, SCSL）配合附加项目“准时启动（START on Time, START）”的实施成效。其中，START是面向学校校长的培训项目，旨在传授相关技能，帮助校长为学生营造安全且积极的学习环境；该培训项目涵盖学生支持服务，以及供校长使用的、可落实高效且基于数据驱动的学生惩戒措施的相关资源。尽管该类项目于十余年前首次推出，但目前尚无基于实证的研究探讨校长在学校环境中所发挥的核心作用。
