School climate research is clearly evolving. The field demands rigorous and empirically sound research that focuses on relating specific aspects and activities of interventions to changes in specific components of school climate. We also need empirical evidence based on sound research techniques on how both interventions and climate affect specific socio-moral, emotional, civic, and cognitive development and the teaching and learning of both students and teachers. Understanding the interactions of these processes in the contexts of interventions will enable schools to successfully adapt interventions that have been shown to promote one or more of these positive outcomes. We need to translate these researches into smarter educational policies to transform low performing schools to better schools and to enhance the quality of lives of our students. The research in school climate points out the need for the individuals, educators in every school community and policy makers to work hand­-in-hand to achieve these essential goals. Six effective practices are offered to support school climate integration and sustainability.
