TYPES OF SCHOOL CULTURE
- Collaborative Culture
- Comfortable-Collaborative Culture
- Contrived-Collegial
- Balkanized
- Fragmented
Educators collaborate, hold common educational principles, and are dedicated to enhancing both their own instruction and the school’s overall quality
COLLABORATIVE CULTURE
Although instructors are aware of their colleagues’ work, there isn’t much professional reflection in the professional setting of the school.
COMFORTABLE-COLLABORATIVE
The tone of the school is determined by leadership, which supports teachers’ growth but on a superficial level which often undermines motivation.
CONTRIEVED-COLLEGIAL CULTURE
The atmosphere is dominated by cliques of teachers that compete for resources and control. An “us versus them” attitude can develop between the teachers and administration.
BALKANIZED CULTURE
Teachers all function independently and there is very little collaborative effort to improve the school. Meetings are uninspired and lack involvement of the staff.
FRAGMENTED CULTURE
It is the study of how individuals, groups, and organizations interact and influence one another. Though, in the field of business management, it is a largely used concept as means to understand and more productively manage-groups of people.
