(1) School Culture – Since the beginning of my Leadership course, my heart has been drawn to school culture. My belief is that anything a principal tries to accomplish within a school will depend on the culture and climate of the school. A strong, healthy, positive, vibrant school culture will enable a principal to lead a school community to any place as long as it is positive and beneficial to all stakeholders. After studying Leading with Passion and Knowledge this week concerning the nine areas of passion, it has only confirmed my own passion concerning school culture. This week’s study has also, fine-tuned my passion into an action “plan” for my action research. I’d like to implement a weekly school-wide meeting with my supervisor’s permission and oversight. I am wondering if a weekly school-wide meeting with the implementation of a character-building program, and recognition of academic performance and superior behavior will prove to be a great motivation method for our students’ learning performance as well as enriching our school/community culture.
My site supervisor is really excited about the possibility of this action research. We will determine if this or the 2nd choice of action research (vertical alignment) will be considered our final decision. My 3rd choice of action research is using technology in ARD meetings.
