Is it positive? Is it toxic? Even if it is a good and positive culture, I think you can still take 1-2 things to make it even better.
What are some of the steps or actions you can take to improve your school culture or department culture?
I shared some of the lessons learned while crafting and building my school culture. They were as follows:
