Imagine...
WORKING in a school where collaboration is the
norm and team work is evident throughout the building.
- or -
Working in a school where staff work in isolation and
do not look to their peers for advice and support.
WORKING in a school where the diversity of opinion
is
respected at all times even when there are vast
differences of opinion.
- or -
Working in a school where people are reluctant to
express their ideas for
fear of being dismissed
or labeled unfairly.
WORKING in a school where there are strong
partnerships
with families and the community.
- or -
Working in a school where parents are disrespectful
to teachers and there is a lack of support from the
community.
WORKING in a school where all adults strive to be
ethical role models and demonstrate what it
means to be a
lifelong learner.
- or -
Working in a school where staff members are
disengaged and  burnout is evident
around the building.
Inspiring yourself and an entire school community to achieve success.

“A self-aware community is one where conflict is easily de-escalated, change for the better is not only possible but probable, and each
individual feels part of a healthy, happy, and eternally learning environment. A self-aware school is one in which the administration,
faculty, and staff have reflected on philosophy, curriculum, management process, and culture, and have incorporated SEL
(Social/Emotional Learning) into every aspect of the school environment.”
- Shelton and Stern, 2004.
