A school-wide, shared vision can light the path to a positive school climate. Bringing the abstract concept of a school-wide vision from theory into practice enables administrators to extend a broad-based leadership approach to the teachers (Lambert, 2003).

This article features the vision statement of Viejo Elementary School. The author describes how the staff and school community has come up with the vision statement and how they mobilize it into action.
