Description
This book will provide a framework for understanding how school cultures operate and how leaders can overcome staff division to improve relationships and transform toxic cultures into healthy ones with the ultimate goal of improved learning for all students. The author contends that in order to transform school culture, one must examine and understand educators’ motivation for hanging on to paradigms that are contrary to those articulated by their school or district. Drawing upon the authors study of 34 schools (11 elementary, 14 middle, and 9 high schools) from around the country, Dr. Muhammad describes the underlying tensions that impact culture among four different groups of educators in a school.
