Description
A powerful school culture can unite staff in a common vision and shape positive behaviours and attitudes. This book explores how schools can develop a culture that encourages individuals to take pride in their work, actively seek development and challenge, and see the big picture of the school. Drawing on key ideas from systems theory, psychology, anthropology, business, and philosophy, this book provides essential insights into understanding culture and concrete steps for intentionally developing staff culture. Each chapter features powerful input and probing reflections to guide your own development. With its practical approach, this book is ideal for school leaders and head teachers looking to develop an authentic, positive school staff culture. A free school development package is available with the book, featuring session plans, slides, and resources to support a programme of sessions for leadership and specialist culture teams.
