This is an article about how changing culture in schools is the way to improve every school in every environmentthe surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates; the aggregate of surrounding things, conditions, or influences; ecology, the air, water, minerals, organisms, and all other external factors and influences.
Following is a quote from that piece in The Whole Child Newsletter:
THE WAY WE DO SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
“Every school has a culture. Some are positive, while others are toxic; many are somewhere in between. A school’s culture affects the lives of everyone in the building. Educators working in a positive school culture experience collegiality, trust, and tangible support as leaders and peers, creating an environment where there are high expectations, involvement in decision making, and open communication. Students entering a positive school culture feel safe, engaged, and connected and see school as a place where they can learn and contribute to the world around them.”
