Bridging the gap between educational research and classroom practice by connecting people with pedagogy.
In this episode I sat down with Jim Smith and chatted about how to create a strong culture that improves outcomes. We discussed:
- What does a strong school culture look and feel like in action?
- What are some of the signs or red flags of a culture that might be struggling or misaligned?
- What lessons have you learned about how to build culture when you’re starting from scratch or trying to reset it?
- What are some practical ways that classroom teachers can help shape a positive culture in their own classrooms, even if they’re not in a formal leadership role?
- What advice would you give to leaders who feel they’re doing the right things but aren’t yet seeing the results they hoped for?
