School culture is the number one determinate in the outcomes for many of our students. School Culture is defined as the guiding beliefs and values evident in the way a school operates. 'School culture' can be used to encompass all the attitudes, expected behaviors, and values that impact how the school operates (Fullen, 2007). The participants in this session will identify the aspects, outcomes, and results associated with schools that have a toxic vs. positive school culture. Participants will learn how to create, leverage, maintain, and sustain a positive school culture to maximize the outcomes for all students, staff, and stakeholders of the school community. Participants will have the opportunity to use the learning they gain from this course to develop a plan to use in building a positive school culture at their schools. All participants will come to realize and understand that “culture dives actions, actions drive results and poor culture will equal poor results.”
