  • School Culture and Students' Achievement
    School culture and students’ achievement Dr. Samia Al Farra Chief Education Officer Taaleem Dubai, United Arab Emirates Introduction • What is school culture and students‘ achievement? Climate? Schools Character?- activity 1 • Theory and practice • My role as a Chief Education Officer – Taaleem Management group • Different curricula schools in Taaleem (Dubai/Abu Dhabi) • My previous experiences in Kuwait and Jordan • The role of school leaders and staff in promoting students’ achievement. The case of DBS and AAM • The role of parents in students’ achievement • School culture and hosting country. Activity 2 • How can we build a positive school culture that enhances learning and achievement? • Conclusion What is a School culture? “The deeper level of basic assumptions and beliefs that are shared by members of an organization, that operate unconsciously, and that define in a basic ‘taken-for-granted’ fashion an organization's view of itself and its environment”. These produce group norms, sentiments, values and interactions in the work place. It gives the school its unique identity or character. W.K. Hoy, C.G. Miskel, Education Administration. Theory research and practice, 3rd edition. Harvard educator Roland Barth’s observed: “A school’s culture has far more influence on life and learning in the schoolhouse than the state department of education, the superintendent, the school board, or even the principal can ever have.”2 1 C. Elbot & D. Fulton, Building an intentional school culture. (Thousand Oaks, CA: Corwin Press, 2008). 2 R. Barth, “The culture builder,” Educational Leadership, 2002, 59 (8), 6-11. “Drawing on research on “smart and good schools”, CEP defines “character” broadly to include both moral character—treating others well (through kindness, honesty and respect)—and performance character, doing things well (as demonstrated by perseverance, critical thinking, and a commitment to quality).
