  10. Pillar IV: Can-do Culture and Climate Talent Development’s coordinated efforts facilitate a personalized, positive environment and provide the right supports to the right students at the right time, helping to create a safe, supportive community.

  11. Pillar IV: Can-do Culture and Climate A “can-do” school culture is the simple but powerful idea that if we work together toward a common goal, support each other, learn from each other, and stay at it, we can succeed.

  12. Can-do school culture matters because: • The students’ belief that they will succeed if they work at it, and • the teachers’ belief that the adults in the school can collectively create the conditions needed for students to succeed • are what ultimately drive school and student success.
