10. Framework Overview Graduates Prepared for the 21st Century
Kathy. This graphic represents the foundation blocks for creating a high performing school systems. High performing High School level schools employ these same elements of systemic improvement.
High performing High School schools have four broad components.
Turn to page 5 in your High School framework.
Let’s talk about the foundation of the High School school, the heart of the High School school, its culture.

11. Component 1
Culture
“High performing organizations intentionally create a culture designed to influence actions and beliefs in order to produce desired results.”
Leading Students into the 21st Century
Kathy- p. 6
The culture is generally defined as the “way we do things around here”
Underground stream of norms, values, beliefs, traditions and rituals.
Culture influences everything we do at the school.
Toxic School…………
Strong positive cultures are places of shared sense of what is important, a shared ethos of caring and concern, and a shared commitment to helping students become productive…..

12. Component 2 High Yield Practices “The Four Pillars”
Leading Students into the 21st Century
