Climate & Culture

School culture is built on the beliefs, values and shared realities of all members of the school community.  These unwritten rules and norms shape everything around them.  They affect the way people think, feel and behave.  A school's culture is always at work, either helping or hindering learning.

For example, every school has a set of expectations as to what constitues good teaching techniques and pedagogy, how committed the staff is to student success, how willing the staff is to change, and the importance of quality staff development.  Building a culture of success, even during tumultous times or during times of great change, can be challenging even to the most seasoned educational professional.
