SCHOOL CULTURE REWIRED: How to Define, Assess, and Transform ItAuthor: Steve Gruenert and Todd Whitaker
Publisher: ASCD Copyright: 2015 Pages: 175 This is a great book that focuses on the culture of schools. The culture should be what is best for the students! There should be a positive environment that enriches students' lives and prepares them for an ever-changing future. Without a healthy culture and students that are motivated and feel like they matter - very little learning will occur. It doesn't matter if your school is a rural or an inner-city school or if it is a brand new school, or built in 1950. What matters is the people inside, and the attitudes, forward thinking, positivity, and willingness to learn and change - students AND teachers alike!CONTENTS: 1. Defining Organizational Culture 2. Culture vs. Climate 3. Building Blocks and Subcultures 4. What Type of Culture Do You Want? 5. What Type of Culture Do You Have? 6. The School Culture Survey 7. To Reveal the Invisible and Start Conversations 8. The Beat Goes On - or Does It? 9. How Long Does It Take to Rewire a Culture? 10. Breakthroughs 11. Leverage Points 12.
