| Transforming School Culture: How to Overcome Staff Division |
|
Foreword by Richard DuFour
Busy administrators will appreciate this quick read packed with immediate, accessible strategies. Transforming School Culture provides the framework for understanding dynamic relationships within school cultures and ensuring a positive environment that supports the changes necessary to improve learning for all students. Dr. Muhammad explores many aspects of human behavior, social conditions, and history to reveal best practices for transforming toxic cultures into healthy ones. Drawing from an extensive study of 34 schools from around the U.S., he introduces readers to four typical groups of educators:
- The Believers are those who are committed to the learning of each student and who operate under the assumption that their efforts can make an enormous difference in that learning.
- The Fundamentalists are preservers of the status quo.
- The Tweeners are members of a staff who are typically new to a school and are attempting to learn its prevailing culture.
- The Survivors are those who have been so overwhelmed by the stress and demands of the profession that their primary goal becomes making it through the day, the week, and the year.
