CHANGING THE CONVERSATION: CLIMATE & CULTURE CONTROL FOR YOUR SCHOOL – STUDENTS AND FACULTY Presenter: Frank W. Palatucci, Jr. Director of School Leadership Programs Foundation for Educational Administration Principal, Highland H.S. (Retired)

What is Organizational Culture? “Culture is the underground stream of norms, values, beliefs, traditions, and rituals that has built up over time as people work together.” “... this set of informal expectations and values shape how people think, feel, and act in schools”... and serves as a highly enduring web of influence [that] binds the school together and makes it special.” (Peterson and Deal) (Peterson and Deal)

MAJOR ELEMENTS OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE  Values & Ideals  Norms  Expectations  Sanctions  Communication through Symbolism  Symbolic Activity through Behavioral Example

Distinguish Between Climate & Culture  Culture = belief system(s) that undergirds the patterns of behavior in a school (organization)  Climate = sum total of the dynamic interactions among the psychosocial, academic and physical dimensions of the school’s environment. Climate has a major influence on morale, productivity, teaching and learning – perceptions matter.

Teacher Challenges 1950  Talking  Chewing gum  Making noises  Running in the halls  Getting out of place in line  Wearing improper clothing  Not putting paper in the wastebasket 2012  Drug & Alcohol Abuse  Pregnancy  Suicide  Lock-Downs  Guns & Shootings  Cyber Bullying  Arson, Bomb Threats  AIDS  Gangs  Dysfunctional families

CULTURAL ELEMENTS OF AN EFFECTIVE SCHOOL   Positive Organizational Culture   Emphasis on Academic Effort and Achievement   Belief that All Students Can Achieve   Ongoing Faculty Development and Innovation   Safe & Orderly Learning Environment “The only thing of real importance that leaders do is to create and manage culture.” (Schein) “The principal has the ultimate responsibility for school culture.” (Krajewski) “When the principal sneezes, everyone catches a cold.” (Whitaker)

The Reality of Our Schools  The community’s best kept secret  The biggest and most important business in town  Need to adopt the philosophy to “Do the right things right the first time”  Quality education creates its own publicity
