Staff Cultural Norms - the 'glue' that 'holds us together'
At our school how much are we aligned by the following shared norms?
- Shared Goals - 'We all know where we are going?'
(We are aligned behind a shared vision/language, values, teaching expectations)
0 <-----------------------------------> 10
- Responsibility for Success - 'all students, achieve and take responsibility for their own quality learning and behaviour'
0 <-----------------------------------> 10
- Collegiality - 'we all work together, supporting each other, sharing ideas and planning to achieve quality learning?'
0 <-----------------------------------> 10
- Continuous Improvement - 'we all reflect on our teaching and achievements to continually improve our teaching.'
0 <-----------------------------------> 10
- Life Long Learning - 'all involved in the school, teachers, parents and students appreciate learning goes on forever. Everyone sees learning as a positive adventure.'
0 <-----------------------------------> 10
- Risk Taking - 'we all take every opportunity to try something new, are prepared to take risks and to learn from failure.'
0 <-----------------------------------> 10
- Mutual Support - 'every one is willing to help each other.'
0 <-----------------------------------> 10
- Mutual Respect - 'we believe that everyone has something to offer. We value individual creativity and diversity'

The ultimate aim is that all involved in the school be aligned behind the above norms - when this is achieved we have a Learning Community.
