About the Toolkits Link to this section
A collaborative team of staff from multiple SFUSD departments worked together to develop these resources. Drawing from existing models and examples, the team identified priorities and selected the resources to include in the toolkits. Many of these tools were adapted from models based on national research (these sources are noted where relevant). The tools and links to additional resources reflect recommendations by SFUSD families, advisory groups, and community members (identified through focus groups, public forums, and our collaborative design process). Included in the toolkits are checklists, rubrics, and other tools to serve as “flashlights” that can help illuminate issues and opportunities for growth and development of a strong and supportive school culture and climate.
