school cultures

I thought Kim's presentation on creating and maintaining a positive school culture was great. It is almost impossible to accomplish the goals a school creates for itself if it does not have a school culture that's inspiring for the staff. In particular, I feel like a lot of a school culture comes from individual's choosing their attitudes. Teaching is a stressful and sometimes thankless job. However, we also need to decide to make the best of things and to be a team player. As long as teachers are easy going and willing to do whatever it takes for the benefit of students good things will happen. She was exactly right when she stated that positive attitudes are the basis for successful schools.
