Overview
As a school principal, one of your primary leadership responsibilities is to create a positive school ethos and a culture that supports equity, inclusion, and educational success for all students. Additionally, creating an environment that promotes high expectations for professional disposition, virtues, and character development empowers teachers, staff, and students to become positive global contributors. Understanding what organizational culture is and how to apply leadership skills that foster a positive culture is essential for successful professional practice.

Discuss whether the current organizational culture fosters a supportive environment and creates equitable opportunities for diverse stakeholders to engage in character education and leadership activities that lead to educational success. Provide evidence to support your analysis.
- Identify opportunities for changes that could be made to the current organizational culture, so it is more relevant to and reflective of the shared mission, vision, and values of the school community stakeholders. Include a discussion of specific, research-based best practices that could be used to address each opportunity.
