Rodney Green: School Culture
As has already been said, school culture is reflected by everyone and everything that happens at the school. Culture must be nutured through our behaviors, language, stories and celebrations. I believe our school culture in Blount County is very positive and there is an environment that promotes student success and learning. Our buildings and grounds are well kept and provide an orderly, safe and secure haven for our students. Our schools are now constantly looking at student achievement and ways to keep our students engaged. Our attitudes have changed and we are looking at each child and trying to make sure they have every opportunity to be successful. Thanks to all of you!

School climate must be a positive one for our students. I remember the first year I was an Assistant Principal at Moody. Mike Green, our Principal gave me some advice and one of the biggest ones was to speak to every student possible and call their name if you can. The second was to never raise your voice in the hallway unless absolutely necessary. These two ideas have helped me in my job to help with making the school climate a positive one for our students.
ReplyDeleteI agree, school culture and climate are very close in nature. It all begins with how you treat your staff and students.
