Head to the Thriving Matters Facebook page for more.🚀Culture Is Connections🚀 #schoolculture during #covid19
Continuing #EducationMatters series we are looking at school culture this week.
✅ A culture will be strong or weak depending on interactions between the people in the organisation.
✅ In a strong culture, there are many, overlapping, and cohesive interactions among all members of the organization.
✅ Knowledge about your educating organisations distinctive character — and what it takes to thrive in it — is widely spread and reinforced.
✅ In a weak culture, sparse interactions make it difficult for people to learn the organization’s culture, so its character is barely noticeable and the commitment to it is scarce or sporadic.
This week my panel guests are Chris Smyth and Catherine Jackson as we share insights and observations on
‘Culture Change for School Improvement’ - what have we learnt during #COVIDVIC19 that can't be lost?
