School Climate Research List

Decisions about school climate are stronger when they rest on evidence. Use this research list to connect your climate work to what studies show about belonging, Deaf and hard of hearing identity, communication access, and well-being for Deaf and hard of hearing students. It gathers key articles, both foundational and recent, with a short note on why each one matters and how it applies to inclusion, respect for Deaf experience, and student belonging. Turn to it when you want to explain the reasons behind climate priorities or build shared understanding across your team.
