A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
Invitational Education is a self-concept approach to creating a positive school climate. Inviting educators communicate with intentionally optimistic, respectful, trustworthy and caring words and actions. These inviting strategies help all stakeholders to see themselves as able, valuable, and responsible, which then motivates them to take charge of their learning and choose beneficial actions. Inviting schools enjoy increased academic success, attendance, effort, collaboration, positive behaviors, and staff morale.
