- W596071768 abstract "The purpose of this study was to examine the principal's role in developing culture in a new secondary school. This is an under-developed area of research, as most studies which discuss school culture examine the principal's role in shaping it, not initiating it. The study relied primarily on Schein's functionalist approach, examining culture through three categories: artifacts, espoused values, and underlying assumptions. The principals of two new secondary schools were thoroughly interviewed regarding the ways in which they went about influencing and shaping the cultures of their respective schools. As well, three teachers from each school were interviewed: two founding teachers and a new teacher. These participants were questioned about the culture of their school and what they saw as the principal's role in developing and maintaining it. Each participant was interviewed twice over the four-month period during which data were collected. Semi-structured interview questions elicited information about school artifacts, such as logos, mottos and slogans, building layout, and resource allocation. As well, questions about professional development, and the spoken values of staff, students, parents, and administrators uncovered espoused values. Then underlying assumptions at each school were discussed, drawn from the data gathered on artifacts and espoused values. The results of this study confirm much of the school culture research, as they clearly demonstrate that principals do play a role in shaping the culture of 1v their schools. Furthermore, there are several steps principals can take when initiating culture, for example, creating a shared vision. Another finding, the role and effect of leadership style on the ways in which the two principals went about developing culture, confirmed leadership literature conclusions and provided an area of critique for effective schools authors. The principal's role in developing school culture is an important area of research, as recent educational reform has focused on creating effective school cultures as a way of improving student performance. Therefore it is essential that principals are not only aware of how their actions influence the culture of their school, but also the measures they can take to shape an already existing culture or develop a new culture." @default.
