Schoolwide implementation of CSC is important because the program builds connections beyond the classroom. Having a common language and approach gives staff members a structure for discussing issues that arise.

• All four components of CSC are designed to be introduced over the course of one year.

• Some schools may decide to introduce the components more gradually.

• Teachers report that implementing CSC actually saves time in the classroom.

• Professional development can help with implementation, especially when CSC represents a departure from current school practices.
