School Culture & Climate

Shape a positive, high-expectation culture that supports staff wellbeing and student achievement.

Key Concepts

Culture vs Climate

Culture is the deep beliefs and values; climate is the mood of the building. Both matter.

Conducting a Culture Audit

Use surveys, focus groups, and observation to understand your current culture.

Restorative Practices

Move from punitive to restorative approaches. Build relationships, repair harm, and reintegrate.

Summary

Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Get the culture right and everything else follows.
