What are the steps or strategies to follow to implement cultural change in a school?
In many sources I have read that the school is a driving factor of cultural change in a society. It is only partially true. A small number of teachers and students change their cultural model (social imaginary, norms, values to which they refer, socialization practices, social behavior, etc.). The school, through its human resource, is part of society and is strongly influenced by the cultural evolution of society. For example, 50 years ago, in my country, Romania, students learned more because they were more motivated: a degree almost guaranteed you a higher salary and a higher social position. Today, these things have become relative, there are many young people who have higher incomes and a better social status even if they only have secondary education. There are many college graduates who earn the same or even less income than those without a college degree. Consequence: decreased motivation to learn compared to their grandparents' generation. In their case, any cultural change in the school institution has a limited effect. Teachers also do not feel motivated for changes because they are aware that they have limited effect. How to lead a cultural change in education? If you want to be successful, you must be in trend with the evolution of society, otherwise its effect will be weak.
Culture are norms that are set in any institution by teachers.When teachers change their views and think more postively then change could comes in any instutions for this purpose for learning of students an innovative techniques required and these innovative techniques required module development for learning science based on innovative techinquies.when a teacher taught students with innovative techniques automatically their minds builds up for learning new ways and in this way students left TLM- Traditional lecture methods and adopted concept based methods and these methodologies automatically change their minds and culture and these innovative techinquies makes school enviroment more positive. Students will set norms for learnings.
Leading cultural change in education can be a complex and challenging process, but some key steps can be taken to help make it successful. Here are some strategies that can be used to lead cultural change in education:
Leading cultural change in education is not easy, but it can be done with a clear vision, strong communication, and a collaborative approach.
