PPE DESK Leave a comment

Glad, you are here to view the school culture enhancements, well…there are many perspective in school culture and each of them imposes its own application based on the school. The concept has its own meaning which denotes the overall success of the institution.

It is also proven that the schools which possess good culture shows up a great progress in learning, reasoning, ethics, discipline, understanding and would also acquire good mental ability and better relationship with the school and the teachers. There would be seen happiness and achievements all over.

Keeping in mind the importance of the school culture, the enhancements should be thought of even if the level is high and appreciated. Shaping the school by experience and bringing in effective solutions and in keen observation the school will be able to identify more angles for improvements and enhancements.

Another key point is that the school culture is something which is just not within the campus but it is shared outside as well. Understanding the school culture which needs to be stable, should also emphasis on the development of the school and the students. When you describe the school, you should describe it as a family, the focus should be on nurturing learning and bonding with the institution. There may be many signs of the positive school culture which includes the following.

  • The teachers and the staff members are inclined to the goals of the school,
  • The curriculum of the school is well defined
  • Honest communication is experienced
  • Civilized student citizenship
  • Positive attitudes
  • High moral and gender based value
  • Competent perception
  • Regular and periodical achievement
  • Happiness and cheer in all the stakeholders
  • Society consciousness
  • Overall behavioural etiquettes
  • Communication etiquettes

The ultimate is the good progressive culture when developed will bring in high intellectual development and positive thinking attitude.

Before everything falls in line, let us to start with discuss over creating the culture in schools.

It’s quite natural that most of the school function would be based on the academic developments, focus and achievements, the truth is the school cannot achieve it without their concentration on the school culture. When understood an effective and well-maintained school structure can be experienced. Here we suggest that there are few important elements which must be considered to get this achieved. What we call as elements are the academic curriculum and the school culture, both should be carefully designed and executed as it is looked upon as integration.

Also, remember that culture is a longer process development which must be built with various actions, traditions, environments and much more. Primarily, culture develops from the vision and the values of the institution. Just glance at the response and situational changes expected when the cultural changes are strong and positive.

The necessary steps to be taken over these to bring the efforts fruitful and supportive, builds the commitment with the teachers to schools, keeps them motivated and energetic, focus on each behavioral task, motivate to accept the defined culture. The culture should be focused and must have a stand on the quality.

When categorized teachers’ motivation has the prime value and there is no substitute to stand it. Plan some culture to the teachers and staff to keep them work to the goals of the institution. Show up the results of the school and the achievements of the teachers to create a positive academic culture. Keep them dedicated and committed, choose to live honestly and honourably. Greeting is important so greet your teachers and the students. On the fine day arrange for an evening get-together snacking outdoor, may be weekly pay outs for dinner together, monthly, or bi-monthly a day trip to the nearby places.

Heretofore, things were different and there were days when culture was highly built in everyone. The effect over this culture and its dilution drives more parents to get inclined towards home schooling which takes a new dimension among both the adults and the children. Let us not give way to this deviation and take the necessary steps to the overall excellence which is been achieved only when the culture is at its best.

Staying as a role model in the young minds is a great boon to help them achieve more. Being an academic role model you need to guide the students in the right fronts and the following are the few conducts to help students achieve more.

Show the students how learning approaches helps

You can create a platform to discuss on the various learning methods that you had adopted and how it helped to achieve more. Streamline the subject based exploration of the learning methods. Show them your ideas and how you had coped up with subjects like Maths, Science etc.,

Discuss the Struggles

Schools are a place for children which is filled with struggles, challenges, and difficult times, you need to discuss and foresee the various struggles happening for the children. Guide them through the way it was handled by you and methods to overcome the hurdles of each stage to have a fulfilling life achievement and career.

Show your strength in knowledge

You may be the first to get in the students minds in case of seeking of help. The chance to collaborate better with the students can be the lunch hours as most of the teachers who are inclined to the collaborate with students generally welcome students to join the lunch. More topics gets opened during those times and there will be a better doubt clarifying session.

Connect students to the right guidance

Not in all cases would you as a teacher or mentor will be able to support the students to clarify their requirements and serve their queries. You would need to be able to direct them to the right person for the right guidance. It would also be ideal if you could accompany them to the other person and provide a personal introduction and help start the conversation. This will comfort the student even in an uncomforted scenario.

Guide them to solve their own problems

At most times, we quickly figure out the problems of the students and just try to give a quick support but the professionals quote this is not the right approach and the wiser approach will be to enable the students to arrive at their own solutions always. We much be a driving source to formulate their thinking capacity and show them options it can be handled. It should be deliberated on the students themselves to handle the issue and come to solving them.

For those associated with the right teacher or the mentor proves to be fortunate and will be successful in all their endeavours.
