Oklahoma Summit on Behavior and Climate Survey

The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) is planning a summit on behavior and climate in schools. The primary goal of this summit is to develop well-informed recommendations for legislative, pre-service and in-service supports based on input from stakeholders and objective sources of data. The recommendations will address the social/emotional and behavioral needs of Oklahoma schools.

Stakeholder input will be key in identifying participants and gathering crucial data and resources.
