Abstract | A Vancouver high school that struggled with poverty, low scores, and student misbehavior decided to turn things around by implementing a detailed code of conduct that they called ROARS for Respect, Ownership, Attitude, Responsibility, and Safety. Teachers and students were extensively trained in the new code, and teachers started using ROARS language when they saw students violating the code. When teachers and students started to show signs of discouragement with the code, new principal Iona Whishaw took steps to make ROARS an integral part of the school culture. Eventually, students started taking responsibility for their own actions and encouraged their classmates to do the same, and the school climate has been transformed. Failure rates have plummeted, and the school now has a waiting list for enrollments. (As Provided). |
