Description
|
The previous edition of this book was notable for explaining how the values and beliefs of educators have a critical impact on school functioning. In this long-awaited new edition, authors focus on new and inspiring case examples from schools across the country to show how culture-based practices are being used to bring purpose, passion, and meaning to the educational experience. They also show how leaders play important symbolic roles in schools and how myths, stories, rituals, and other culture-based strategies can help educators manage everyday challenges and even serve to heal and transform "toxic" school environments.
