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 children
to ensure their successful futures,
and schools can provide the facilitative leadership
to 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, healthpromoting environments.
It is to this end that
The 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.

While it is possible to ‘install’ a
particular governance structure
or pedagogy in a school, one
cannot install a culture; it must
grow… (Rossman et al, 1988)
