Allowing teachers to participate in or be represented when decisions about instructional or administrative matters were being discussed related to better student achievement. Students' subjective rating of the ethos of the school was also related to achievement. The number of field trips the students took was related to achievement. A school being well maintained and nicely decorated was related to better student behavior. The academic environment is important for resilience.
Schools provide the academic environment.
They can either undermine or enhance resilience. The size of the school is important. Smaller schools are more protective. Larger schools can get that small school feel if students are treated as individuals and not numbers. They can also get the small school feel if classes are smaller and guidance counselors have reasonable loads.
