STAFFULTY
STAFF AND FACULTY SHAPE SCHOOL CLIMATE AND CULTURE

Renaissance is not just about the students in your building. An important step in having success with Renaissance at your school is to have buy-in from teachers, staff and administration. The good news is that buy-in will come naturally when everyone sees the results of Renaissance through student success. But an important — and fun — aspect of Renaissance is celebrating and recognizing the achievements of staffulty. Many of the same strategies of recognition used for students can also be directed toward staffulty members. Every adult in your school has one of the most important jobs in the world. When teachers and staff feel like they are critical partners in education whose efforts are appreciated, they are more likely to make their students feel the same way. This Renaissance Kit will provide materials and ideas to help establish a culture of recognizing and appreciating staffulty. Check out the Idea Exchange (JostensRenaissance.com/idea-exchange) and the Jostens Renaissance Getting Started Kit (JostensRenaissance.com/getting-started-kit) for more great recognition ideas!
