How to Build an Intentional School Culture | A Conversation With Joel Abel
In this episode, we dive deep into school culture with Joel Abel, author of Teacher First Management. Joel shares practical insights on how to build and maintain intentional school culture, introducing his culture feedback loop model that connects results, actions, and beliefs. We explore why simply mandating actions isn't enough and how to create experiences that genuinely shift teacher beliefs and behaviors.
Key Topics Covered:
- Why culture happens whether you plan it or not
- The culture feedback loop model
- How beliefs drive actions in school settings
- Leveraging diversity in international schools
- Supporting different teacher motivations
- Moving beyond student-centered to teacher-first management
- Creating sustainable cultural change
Resources Mentioned:
- Teacher First Management - Joel's book
- The Culture Map by Erin Meyer
