Carolyn Taylor’s book Walking the Talk (Random House, 2005) explains culture in terms of three useful manifestations; behaviours, symbols and systems. Useful because they can be listed, described and included in school-based policies.
The biggest influence on a school's culture is the behaviour of its leaders. The links below lead to examples of each aspect of culture.
