The discussion of the school culture was very interesting. My personal school culture has changed dramatically since the blending of the two high schools. I think my answers would have been slightly different last year. I liked the tool we used and would like to use it to assess our new school culture. The discussion of the common core standards and the future was very informative. I think administrators need to be kept up to date on these changes so they can keep their staff informed. Implementing anything new in school needs to be done gradually and with the purpose of getting a majority to buy in and implement the changes with integrity. That is one of the major things missing in public education. We do things NOW, instead of introducing the concept gradually.
