Transforming School Culture

How to Overcome Staff Division (Leading the Four Types of Teachers and Creating a Positive School Culture)

By: Anthony Muhammad, Richard DuFour - foreword, Rebecca Dufour - foreword

Narrated by: Peter Coates

With foreword by Richard DuFour and Rebecca DuFour

Transforming School Culture provides a school improvement plan for leaders to overcome staff division, improve relationships, and transform toxic school cultures into healthy ones.

Dr. Anthony Muhammad contends that in order to transform school culture, we must understand why teachers continue to hold on to models or beliefs contrary to those put forth by their school or district. He explores the human behavior, social conditions, and history that cause the underlying conflict among the four different types of teachers in a school.

The audio edition of this best-selling resource delivers powerful new insight into the four types of educators (believers, fundamentalists, tweeners, and survivors) and how school leaders can work with each group to create positive school culture. The audiobook also includes Dr. Muhammad's latest research as well as a new chapter dedicated to answering frequently asked questions on culture and school leadership in education.
