Ineffective schools, it is the responsibility of the leader to establish the mission and vision to make learning a priority and that all decisions made must be in the best interest of the students and are at forefront of everything that you do. We must believe that all students can learn. Leading by a positive example will guide you in developing a positive culture for everyone to follow. To achieve our goals and objectives, we must include all stakeholder groups at the table to engage in the decision-making process. It is vital to have parental involvement, students, staff, and the business community to build a more collaborative learning environment for staff and students in accomplishing the mission and vision of learning for all students. In successful learning environments, the staff is positive, maximum learning occurs, high expectations are set for staff and students, authentic relationships are established, and celebrations for our successes are recognized. A successful school culture change is the way stakeholders interact with one another. The best hope for maintaining and sustaining a successful culture is to build trust and realize that both teachers and parents have the same goals (Lozette & Synder, 2011), and working together with all stakeholders is the best course of action. You provided some excellent systems to have in place for the support of your parents and the importance of supporting being the support system to encourage their child, as well as other students to strive for success in all areas. When parents provide guidance and establish boundaries for their children, provide love and support, and are engaged in their learning and success, this is a "win-win" situation for the overall school community and the school. My daughter knew early on that if she committed to piano lessons, ballet, an art class, or whatever, there was a commitment to continue and stick with what you started until the end. This encourages thinking things through which speaks to preparing you now and later in your post-secondary coursework as well. What type of traditions/ceremonies do you think schools celebrate and what role do you think a principal mentee/teacher plays in cultural events?
