Customer Reviews

Very highly recommended

The Shaping School Culture Fieldbook uses the authors' extensive research and nationwide school contacts to provide exercises for school leaders to help uncover a school's hidden values and beliefs and rethink its mission and direction. It's been completely revised to include an expanded version of the original model and provides new ideas and new material on 'toxic' environments. Very highly recommended.
