School Culture Leader Workshop

We define a School Culture Leader as the individual who creates a strong, vibrant school culture in which students thrive. This role has many names: Dean of Students, Assistant Principal, a House or Hall Principal, Dean of Culture, Social Worker, Guidance Counselor, Parent Advocate—it can even be the job of the Principal herself. Whatever the name it takes in a given school, the School Culture Leader’s (SCL) role is vital to student and teacher success. It entails ensuring that all classrooms have a strong foundation to enable rigorous and engaging academic instruction to thrive. The SCL’s role ensures that stakeholders experience and uphold a culture that is warm, supportive and inclusive.

As schools work to define, establish and/or strengthen their schools’ culture, we are offering this workshop which is designed to build the capacity of School Culture Leaders, Deans, Assistant Principals and/or their managers to lead strong school culture.

TRAINING WILL INCLUDE:

• Insights into the effective application of techniques by school culture leaders

• Practice activities that will strengthen school culture leaders’ capacity to apply effective techniques in their schools

• The opportunity to plan how you will implement these techniques in your school’s professional development program

• Feedback during practice to help school culture leaders master the techniques

• Cohort building among school culture leaders to promote networking and future collaboration
