A. Healthy Cultures?
B. Toxic Cultures?
(Schools with toxic cultures) lack a clear sense of purpose, have norms that enforce inertia, blame students for lack of progress, discourage collaboration, and have hostile relations between staff. Such schools are not healthy places to be.
Peterson, 'Positive or negative?' Journal of Staff Development, 23(3).

The vision is, first, that the school will be a community, a place full of adults and
youngsters who care about, look after, and root for one another and who work together for the good of the whole, in times of need
and times of celebration. Every member of a community holds some responsibility for the welfare of every other and for the welfare of
the community as a whole. Roland Barth

Not intended to be an Evaluation Tool
If you were given this question by a staff member, how would you respond?
I heard that this was never intended to be an evaluation tool – it was a professional performance guide written by a teacher for teachers. Is that true?7
Excellent/Distinguished
For a teacher to be excellent/distinguished it is dependent upon how the kids react to what teachers teach
Do you think that is fair? How would you explain it to your staff?

Equality per Position/Domain
It looks like Domains 2 and 3 are when kids are present.
Do you think those should be counted as more important?

RESPONSIBILITY
No single drop of water thinks it is responsible for the flood.
How can we as leaders facilitate
the transformation of this tool from an evaluation
instrument to a culture changing
instrument?
