Topic > Factors Influencing School Culture and Climate - 1555

LITERATURE REVIEW:-The purpose of my study is to find the importance of school culture in developing the future of students studying in a school. In recent years, many studies have been conducted by different people to find the role of school culture in the lives of students, teachers and parents. First of all, what is school culture“School culture is the set of norms, values ​​and beliefs, rites and ceremonies, symbols and stories that make up the 'person' of the school” says Dr. Kent .D. Peterson, professor in the department of educational administration at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. According to Gary Phillips, school culture is "the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that characterize a school in terms of how people treat and feel toward one another, the extent to which they feel included and valued, and the rituals and traditions that reflect collaboration and collegiality.” Many theorists have long argued that paying attention to school culture is the most important action a leader can take. The impact of learning is mediated by the climate and culture of the school and is not an effect directed (Hallinger and Heck 1998). Watson (2001) warned us that if the school culture is not hospitable to learning, student achievement may suffer. Fink and Resnick (2001) remind us that school principals are responsible for creating a pervasive culture of teaching and learning in every school. School culture can be positive or negative depending on school circumstances. Positive school culture fosters trust, collaboration and improvement while negative school culture fosters mistrust, isolation and lack of change.
