Readiness to Learn
“School Systems are not responsible for meeting every need of their students. But when the need directly affects learning, the school must meet the challenge”.
School as the Convener of Societal Supports
Societal supports must coalesce around childrento ensure their successful futures,
and schools can provide the facilitative leadershipto make that happen.
Basis for The Mariner Model
In order to reduce the risk behaviors of children and youth and combat the multiple factors that interfere in their academic achievement,
it is essential that we restructure school communities to become protective, health-
promoting environments.
It is to this end thatThe Mariner Model was developed.
A Process Model
The Mariner Model is a systems-building process and tool by which schools,school districts, and communities
can develop capacity and create an infrastructure that supports continuous improvement
in health-promoting environments for students.
