Particularly during these challenging times, how do we build strong cultures and a sense of community? What can we learn and bring back to our own schools about integrating HĀ and creating communities where all members flourish? “Culture eats strategy for breakfast”, a quote from Peter Drucker, is something that many school and school system leaders can relate to. In institutions where there is a strong growth culture, all individuals are encouraged, challenged, and supported to continuously improve themselves and each other. In a school, there is a strong connection between building a growth culture for adults and doing the same for students, and a strong school culture for students requires a strong culture for teachers and school staff. Otherwise, the culture will “eat” all of the school’s best-laid plans. In this Deep Dive, participants will spend the day immersed in a Growth Culture module, practicing strategies and tools for building a strong adult culture, while also improving the broader school culture. Participants will also create plans for bringing a Growth Culture lens to their own sites.
