This workshop equips educators and school leaders with strategies to foster a positive and resilient school culture that supports both student success and adult well-being. The session focuses on developing trusting teams, establishing shared values, and leveraging collective efficacy to address challenges head-on. Through interactive activities and discussions, participants explore the role of communication, empathy, and mindset in shaping a school culture where everyone feels valued and supported. The goal is to create a cohesive environment that drives academic and social-emotional growth.
Participants will learn how to create and sustain teams grounded in trust, shared purpose, and collaborative decision-making. They'll explore the concept of trust as a gradual, everyday practice and how to embed it in school teams to foster community and reduce staff turnover.
Educators will engage in exercises to define core school values, understand their importance in shaping behaviors, and build consensus around shared cultural expectations. They'll gain skills to ensure these values are reflected in daily interactions and institutional practices.
Participants will understand the significant impact of collective teacher efficacy on student achievement. They’ll learn how to shift from individual to team-based mindsets and cultivate belief in their collective ability to overcome obstacles and positively influence student learning outcomes.
