As school leaders, one of the greatest challenges we face is to create and maintain a positive school culture that is focused on student learning, that is collegial, supportive, and dedicated to always finding ways to do EVEN BETTER while finding joy in the work. To do this, everyone has to be part of the solution. Culture is not determined by one person, by the administration, or by the teachers--it is set by every person in the organization. Stephen R. Covey said, “Culture is not the mission, the vision or the strategy that is printed on a sheet of paper or mounted on a wall. Culture is not the list of school values or the school's policy manual. Culture is not what is proclaimed out of someone's mouth. Rather, culture is how people actually behave and treat each other on a consistent day-in and day-out basis. Culture can be seen, felt, and heard. ( http://www.theleaderinme.org/information/what-is-the-leader-in-me/school-culture/) ...
