Taylor, Laura
Journal of Character Education, v16 n2 p65-68 2020
Brentwood School is an independent K-12 coed day school with two campuses, located four blocks apart, in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. Brentwood's West Campus (Brentwood Lower School) includes grades K-5 with 266 students. It has a student/teacher ratio of 7:1 in kindergarten and 11:1 in first through fifth grade and is 39% students of color. Collaboration and shared leadership opportunities create a positive and inclusive culture where diverse perspectives are embraced and valued. Leadership at Brentwood School is not simply a matter of position; it is the responsibility of all constituents who are encouraged to exercise their voices toward a common purpose. The result is enhanced cognitive, social, and emotional well-being of all members of the school community. This article provides insight into the variety of ways the Brentwood Lower School community members are intentionally encouraged to share and lead.
