Morale • Student and teacher morale is low • Teachers seem to have poor motivation and little trust in working with each other • In group/out group • Students have a lack of respect for each other and teachers • Race plays a role in the community which overflows into the schools for staff and students

  7. Alternative Methodology • Increase the qualitative data collection to determine the root of problems through surveys and interviews. • Perception surveys for students and staff • Use this data to evaluate how people feel they are viewed • Interview staff members of the in group/out group to get opinions on what they perceive as the core problems of the building

  8. What we would do…. • Conduct surveys and interviews • Disband BLT • Create working groups to evaluate surveys/interviews and create goals • Involve students to build morale-student groups • Get administration on the same page • Begin tutoring programs • Pursue available grant monies
