1. What have you learned about the six philosophical thoughts on education? What specific knowledge did
you learn from each philosophical thought on education?
2. The modern source of knowledge has led to an age of specialization with this concomitant quip: A
specialist knows more and more about less and less. An expert knows more and more about less and
less until he knows everything about nothing. A related joke cleverly twists this saying: A generalist knows
less and less about more until he or she knows nothing about everything. Should schools produce
generalists or specialists? Defend your answer.
3. Is free tertiary education really pro-poor in the sense that it is the poor who are indeed benefited? Justify

What is a school?
The word ‘school’ is normally associated to buildings, students, curriculum and instruction, teachers and
administration.
Oxford English Dictionary definition: an institution for educating children. Any institution at which instruction is given
in a particular subject.
School is a special institution, created to serve specific social needs. It, therefore, not only gets aims and objectives
from society but its contents and methods are also determined in accordance with the activities, carried on in society,
for which the school functions.
Society
A society is a group of people living according to a shared culture.
Society refers to a group of persons who share a culture, government, institutions, land, or a set of social
relationships.
A person can belong to several societies at a time religious, professional, and social.
The thing that makes a group of people a society is that they share a common culture.
Relation between School & Society
Schools shape children’s perceptions of the world, the values, beliefs, and norms of society are internalized within
children so that they come to think and act like other members of the society. Schools helps in building a nation.
A good society is the product of a good school system and a good school system is the product of a good society.
So there must be intimate relationships between the school and the society.
School is the representative of society:
School are special institution which strives for the fulfillment of the desires of society.
School determines its destination in the light of social objectives.
School is nothing but a reflection of the needs of society.
Society provides a line of action to education (School)
School cannot decide its objectives by itself.
For the realization of the objectives of education, the educational institutions are established in the society.
Effects of school on Society:
Schools have a deep impact on the society. Parent’s school choice decisions are influenced by the groups or
organizations to which they belong. Argues that parent’s decisions not only influence student’s academic
performance but also effect student’s future.
Effects of Community on School:
An effective method of promoting education and ensuring school support is involving the community in school
activities. By inviting community members to join in school festivities, the school administration can improve
effectiveness of the education and raise the likelihood that the school will continue to be supported by the
community.
Impact of Partnership
1. Upgraded school facilities
2. Improved school leadership and staffing
3. Higher quality learning programs for students
4. New resources and programs to improve teaching and curriculum
5. Resources for after-school programs and family supports
6. Increased social and political capital of participants

Primitive Education
Life was very simple
Their means of livelihood were hunting and gathering wild fruits and vegetables
They lived in crude huts
Organization was tribal and usually headed by the oldest or wisest among members
There was no reading or writing
Information was transmitted through word of mouth, songs, gestures, ceremonial rites and the like.
Aims of Primitive Education
Security and survival from dangers that could be inflicted by the following:
1. natural phenomena (typhoons, floods, earthquake, fires, etc.)
2. fierce, wild and poisonous animals and reptiles(lions, tigers, snakes and rats)
3. evil spirits
4. hunger because of scarcity of food
5. other tribes which were hostile to them
Conformity – the interest of one was sacrificed for the interest of the group.
Preservation and transmission of traditions – the ways they were doing things were the best and they
want to preserve it and be transmitted to the incoming generation.
Types of Education
1. Vocational – like hunting, constructing a hut
2. Religious (animistic) – learning how to participate in ritualistic practices to please or appease the unseen
spirits.
Content to be studied
1. Ways of procuring the basic necessities in life and of protecting life from dangers
2. Superstitions- how to worship before the dwelling of an unseen spirit such as big tree, a big rock, a river,
a big bush, etc.
Agencies of Education
1. Home- always the center of learning especially for the young
2. Environment- for instance, if one happened to step on a thorn and got hurt, he now became careful not
to step on thorn.
Organization of Grades
There was none. There was no gradations in instruction; neither were there organized classes.
Methods of Instruction
1. All instruction was done informally- merely enculturation of characteristics, skills, knowledge and attitudes
upon children.
2. Observation and imitation from parents
3. Simple telling and demonstration- this is lecture demonstration nowadays
4. Participation- children participated in the work of their parents and they learned.
Financing
There was no financing involved since there was no teacher to pay, no learning materials to buy, and no
school to construct because education was strictly informal.
Outstanding Contribution to Education
The primitive man started the rudiments of education from which evolved the modern educational
systems of today.

Seen in the capacity to accept failure and defeat
We recognize forces external to ourselves as contributing to how events in our lives turn out.
The results of the Filipino’s faith are courage, daring optimism, inner peace, as well as the capacity
to genuinely accept tragedy and death.
7. Ability to Survive
Filipinos have an ability to survive.
Filipinos make do with what is available in the environment
Basic optimism, flexibility and adaptability, hard work and a deep faith in God. It is manifested in
the millions of Filipinos who bravely live through the harshest economic and social circumstances.
LAS FTC 3 The Teacher and the Community, School Culture, and Organizational Leadership Prepared by: June Rex A. Bombales, LPT
5. Colonial Mentality
Filipinos have a colonial mentality which is made up of two dimensions:
the first is a lack of patriotism or an active awareness, appreciation and love of the
Philippines;
the second is an actual preference for things foreign.
Filipino culture is characterized by an openness to the outside—adapting and incorporating the
foreign elements into our image of ourselves - not built around a deep core of Philippine history
and language.
The result is cultural vagueness or weakness that makes Filipinos extraordinarily susceptible to
the wholesale acceptance of modern mass culture which is often Western.
Thus there is preference for foreign fashion, entertainment, lifestyles, technology, consumer
items, etc.
The Filipino colonial mentality is manifested in the alienation of the elite from their roots and from
the masses as well as in the basic feeling of national inferiority that makes it difficult for Filipinos
to relate as equals to Westerners.
6. Kanya-Kanya Syndrome
Filipinos have a selfish, self-serving attitude that generates a feeling of envy and competitiveness
toward others, particularly one’s peers who seem to have gained some status or prestige.
The kanya-kanya syndrome is also evident in the personal ambition and the drive for power and
status that is completely insensitive to the common good.
Personal and in-group interests reign supreme. The public is made to feel that service from these
offices and from these civil servants is an extra perk that is to be paid for.
This characteristic is also evident in the lack of a sense of service among people in the
government bureaucracy.
The kanya-kanya syndrome results in the dampening of cooperative and community spirit and in
the trampling upon the rights of others.
7. Lack of Self-analysis and Self-reflection
There is a tendency in the Filipino to be superficial and even somewhat flighty.
In the face of serious problems, both personal and social, there is lack of analysis or reflection.
We joke about the most serious matters and this prevents looking deeply into the problem.
There is no felt need to validate our hypotheses or explanations of things.
Thus, we are satisfied with superficial explanations and superficial solutions to problems. We tend
to emphasize on form (maporma) rather than on substance; to be satisfied with rhetoric and to
substitute this for reality; rhetoric and endless words are very much part of public discourse.
As long as the right things are said, as long as the proper documents and reports exist, as long
as the proper committees, task forces or offices are firmed, Filipinos are deluded into believing
that what ought to be, actually exists.
The Filipino lack of self-analysis and our emphasis on norms is reinforced

3. Awareness Approach (Pagkabatid)- This approach helps students to become aware and identify their
own values. The students are encouraged to share their experiences. The teacher presents value laden
situations or dilemmas through readings, films, role playing, small group discussions and simulation.
Students thus engage themselves in the process of making inferences about values from the thoughts,
feelings, beliefs or behavior of themselves and others.
4. Moral Reasoning Approach (Moral na Pangangatwiran)- Through placing themselves in a role and
experiencing the process of deciding, students can begin to see moral decisions in a larger framework
than their single point of view. It consists of the students discussing a dilemma and by reasoning they
attain a higher level of knowledge.
5. Analysis Approach (Pagsusuri)- The group or individuals are encouraged to study social value
problems. They are asked to clarify value questions, and identify values in conflict. They are encouraged
to determine the truth and evidence of purported facts, and arrive at value decision, applying analogous
cases, inferring and testing value principles underlying the decision.
6. Value Clarification Approach (Paglilinaw)- It helps students to use both rational thinking and emotional
awareness to examine personal behavior patterns and classify and actualize values. This approach has
been detailed by Raths, et.al. (1966) and Simon, et.al. (1972) where the child is made to jot down a self-
analysis-reaction work sheet, consisting of drawings, questions and activities.
7. Commitment Approach (Pagtitiwala)- It enables the students to perceive themselves not merely as
passive reactors or as free individuals but as inner-relative members of a social group and system.
8. Union Approach (Pagkakaisa)- The purpose is to help students to perceive themselves and act not as
separate egos but as part of a larger inter-related whole-the human race, the world, the cosmos.
Other Approaches
1. Telling: enables a pupil to have a clear picture of a value
2. Inculcating: instilling and internalizing norms into person's own value systems.
3. Persuading: convincing the learner to accept certain values and behave in accordance with what is
acceptable.
4. Modeling: epitomizing desirable/ideal values is presented to the learners as a model.
5. Role playing: taking the role of another person but without the risk of reprisals.
6. Simulating: pretend to be in a certain situation called for by the lesson and then to portray the events and
also by imitating the character's personality.
7. Problem solving: dilemma is presented to the learners asking them what decisions they are going to take.
8. Discussing situations, stories, pictures, etc.: This technique asks the learners to deliberate on and explain
the details in the lesson.
9. Studying biographies of great men: makes use of the lives of great men as the subject matter for trying
to elicit their good needs and thoughts worthy for emulation.
10. Moralizing: working out a sense of morality through active structuring and restructuring of one's social
experiences (e.g. moral reasoning and analysis)
11. Values clarification: Values clarification as a strategy for values development may be considered as
learner-centered. It relies heavily on the pupil’s ability to process his beliefs, behave according to his
beliefs and to make a decision whenever confronted with a value dilemma.

Leadership (Leading and Influencing Others)
Effective leadership has been evaluated as the most important factor in moving organizations forward in
a complex and competitive world. To achieve such ends, effective leadership is needed at all levels from
supervisors to top executive.
The reason leadership is so important can be found in its definition. Leadership is a process of influencing
others to achieve certain objectives. Leadership involves influencing the activities of an individual or
group in efforts toward reaching a goal in a given situation. However, unduly coercive tactics are not part
of leadership. If influence is not exerted, then leadership is not exerted. An employee who performs
satisfactorily with almost no boss contact is not being led.
Leadership, Management, and Supervision.
Leadership is one component of management, working with and through individuals and groups to
accomplish organizational goals.
Management includes the major activities of planning, organizing, controlling, and leading. The
non-leadership aspects of a manager’s job are sometimes referred to as administrative work, while the
interpersonal aspects involve leadership.
Leadership is regarded as a force that inspires and energizes people and brings about change.
The other aspects of management deal more with status quo. Among the leadership aspects of a
manager’s job described in this context are motivation, communication and conflict resolution. Both good
management and effective leadership are important for an organization to run well.
Supervision is first-level management or overseeing of workers. Supervisors plan, organize, control,
and lead as do other managers. However, supervisors spend more time in direct leadership activities
than do higher-level managers.
How Leaders Use Power to Achieve Goals
Leaders influence others to achieve goals through the use of power – the ability to control resources, to
influence important decisions, and to get other people to do things. When power stems from the formal
position you occupy, it is referred to as position power. When it stems from your personal characteristics
and skills, it is referred to as personal power. If you want to be an effective leader, you must be able to
use power in an intelligent and sensitive manner.
Position power can be divided into three sub-types:
1. Legitimate power is the ability to influence others that directly stems from the leader’ position. It is the
easiest type of power to understand and accept. People at higher levels in an organization have more
power than the people below them. However, the culture of an organization helps decide the limits to
anybody’s power. Although employees generally accept their boss’ right to make requests, they do not
like to be given orders in a way that implies they are not as good as the leader. Effective leaders therefore
exercise authority by making polite requests, rather than arrogant demands.
2. Reward power refers to the leader’s control over rewards valued by the subordinates. For example, if a
principal or a department head can directly reward teachers with cash bonuses for good performance,
then that principal or department head has the power to exert control over the teachers who value cash
or financial rewards. Effective leaders do not use rewards as bribes for getting employees to do what
they want. Instead, rewards are used to reinforce desirable behavior after it has already taken place.
3. Coercive power refers to the leader’s control over punishments. It is based on fear and thus may create
anxiety and defensiveness. Effective leaders generally avoid the use of coercive power except when
absolutely necessary because coercion is likely to create resentment and undermine their personal
power. Yet, if skillfully used, coercion can get some people to comply with rules, regulations, and orders.
Personal power has two sub-types
1. Expert power is the ability to control others through knowledge relevant to the job as perceived by
subordinates. You can also exercise expert power when you do not have a formal leadership position
(but perceived as having specialized knowledge or skill). To accumulate expert power, a leader should
cultivate an image of experience and competence. Credibility must be preserved by avoiding careless
statements and rash decisions. It is also important to remain cool. A leader who appears confused,
vacillates, or obviously panicked will quickly lose expert power.
2. Referent power is the ability to control based on loyalty to the leader and subordinates’ desire to please
that person. The charisma (personal charm and magnetism) of the person is the basis of referent power.
Some of the loyalty to the leader is based on identification with the leader’s personality traits and personal
characteristics and charisma, and therefore referent power, are both based on the subjective perception
of the leader’s traits and characteristics. Although both position and personal power are important,
effective leaders rely heavily on personal power to get work done.

Influence Tactics Used by Leaders
1. Leading by example is simple but effective way of influencing members. The ideal approach to leading
by example is to be “Do as I Say and Do manager. This type of manager shows consistency between
actions and words. Also actions and words confirm, support, and often clarify each other. For example,
if the firm has a dress code and the supervisor explains the code and dresses accordingly, a role model
has been provided that is consistent in words and actions. The action of following the dress code provides
an example that supports and clarifies the words used to describe the dress code.
2. Assertiveness refers to being forthright with your demands, expressing both the specifics of what you
want done and the feelings surrounding the demands. An assertive leader might say, “I’m worried about
the backlog of paper works, and late submission of Report of Grades, I want all paper works done and
on my desk by Thursday at 4:00 in the afternoon. A leader might also be assertive by checking frequently
on subordinates.
3. Ingratiation refers to getting somebody else to like you, often using political behaviors. Two specific
ingratiating behaviors: Acted in a friendly manner prior to asking for what I wanted” and” Praised the
subordinate just before asking for what I wanted.” Strong leaders tend not to rely heavily on ingratiating
tactics.
4. Rationality is appealing to reason and logic. It is an influence tactic used frequently by effective leaders.
Pointing out the facts of a situation to a group member in order to prompt that person to act is an example
of rationality.
5. Exchange is the use of reciprocal favors in order to influence others. Leaders with limited personal and
position power tend to emphasize exchanging favors with group members.
6. Upward Appeal means asking for help from a higher authority. The leader exerts influence by getting a
more powerful person to carry out the influence act. More than occasional use of upward appeal weakens
the manager’s stature in the eyes of subordinates and superiors and erodes effectiveness as a leader.
7. Blocking refers to work slowdowns or the threat thereof, thus being used primarily to exert upward rather
than downward influence. However, a leader sometimes use blocking in ways such as: “I ignored him
until he came around to my way of thinking” or “I stopped being friendly until she started listening to me.”
8. Joking and Kidding can be used to influence others. Good-natured ribbing is especially effective when
a straightforward statement might be interpreted as harsh criticism.
9. Charm and appearance. Being charming and creating a positive appearance can influence others to
accomplish a task.

Sometimes a less than top IQ is an advantage because that person does not see all the problems.
S/he sees the big problem and gets on and gets it solved. But the extremely bright person can
see so many problems that he or she never gets around to solving any of them.
D. Self-confidence. In every setting, it is important for the leader to be self-confident. A leader who
is self-assured without being overbearing instills confidence in subordinates. Aside from being a
psychological trait, self-confidence or self-assurance refers to the behavior exhibited by the
person in a number of situations. It is like being cool under pressure.
E. Courage. Study of 200 US and Japanese managers indicate that courage is an important
leadership attribute in revitalizing an organization. Managerial courage involves a manager giving
voice to ideas that deviate from current thinking because the manager believes they will produce
improved benefits for the organization. Sometimes, the ideas recommend change, at other times
the ideas advocate maintaining the status quo.
F. Internal Locus of Control. Effective leaders believe they are the primary causes of events
happening to them. A study has shown that supervisory leaders with an internal locus of control
are favored by group members. Part of the reason is that an internal person is perceived as more
powerful than an external because that person takes responsibility for things happening.

1. Autocratic Leader attempts to retain most of the authority granted to the group. Autocratic leaders
make all the major decisions and assume subordinates will comply without question. Leaders who
use this style give minimum consideration to what group members are likely to think about an order
or decision. An autocrat is sometimes seen as rigid and demanding by have to be made rapidly or
when group members. Although authoritarian (a synonym for autocratic) style of leadership is not in
vogue, many successful leaders are autocratic. This style of leadership works best in situations where
decisions or when group opinion is not needed.
2. A participative leader is one who shares decision-making authority with the group. Although the
participative style is usually associated with a strong people orientation, one observes that the
participative leader can be tough-minded. This type of leadership has 3 sub-types”:
a. Consultative leaders. A consultative leader solicits opinion from the group before making a
decision yet does not feel obliged to accept the group thinking. Leaders of this type make it
clear they alone have the authority to make the final decisions. A standard way to practice
consultative leadership would be to call a group meeting and discuss an issue before making
a decision.
b. Consensual Leaders. A consensual leader encourages group discussion about an issue
then makes a decision that reflects the consensus of group members. Consensus leaders
thus turn over more authority to the group than do consultative leaders. The consensus style
results in long delays in decision-making because every party involved has to agree.
c. Democratic Leaders. A democratic leader confers final authority on the group. He or she
functions as a collector of opinion and takes a vote before making a decision. Democratic
leaders turn over so much authority to the group that they are sometimes called free-rein
leaders. The group usually achieves its goals when working under a democratic leader.
Democratic leadership has more relevance for community activities than for most work
settings.
3. Free-rein Leadership (The Subordinate-Centered Styles) A free-rein leader is one who turns over
virtually all authority to the group. The free-rein style leadership style is also referred to as laizzes-
faire (allow them to do). They issue general goals and guidelines to the group and then do not get
involved again unless requested. The only limits directly imposed on the group are those specified by
the leader’s boss. Such extreme degree of group freedom is rarely encountered in a work
organization. A real problem with free-rein leadership in practice is that it frustrates many
subordinates. Most people feel a leader is paid to give direction and advice. People often characterize
a free-rein leader as weak and ineffective.

The following are some significant qualities and actions of charismatic leaders:
1. Charismatic leaders have vision. A major requirement of a charismatic leader is that the person
offers the organization an exciting image of where the organization is headed and how to get
there. A vision is more than a forecast. It describes an ideal version of the future organization or
an organizational unit. A sense of vision inspires an organization to perform well.
2. Charismatic leaders are masterful communicators. To inspire people, the charismatic leaders use
colorful language and exciting metaphors and analogies.
3. Charismatic leaders inspire trust. People believe so strongly in the integrity of the charismatic
leaders that they will risk their careers to pursue the chief’s vision.
4. Charismatic leaders help group members feel capable. The charismatic leader recognizes the
importance of effort-to-performance expectancies. One technique used to help people feel more
competent is to let them achieve success on relatively easy projects.
5. Charismatic leaders have energy and an action-oriented leadership style. Most charismatic
leaders are energetic and serve as a model for getting things done on time.

The School Leader in the Community
The technological and cultural changes in society affect schools tremendously and its role within it. As
more technological and industrial development materialized and the society’s populations become
increasingly diversified in ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds, the work of the school as the
foundation to the community has become increasingly complex and highlighted.
Societal changes have become even more difficult because of the liberalization of beliefs and actions
from outside the institution such as family values and tremendous impact on students of mass media’s
messages in the form of entertainment, they also include the changes that are brought into the school by
the participants – teachers, students, parents, and the principal.
To understand the role of a school leader in the community, one must understand the concept that school
is a part of a large social system and the school is also a system within itself. Social-Cultural changes
happening outside and the changes brought-in by the school participants impact the school. The school
is a community of learners and it is a community for learners. Everyone is a learner in the community
and no one is immune from learning. The more one learns, the more each member is able to contribute
to the development of the school – the better the community becomes.

Students

School Culture
Discussion of leadership starts with considering the culture where the leadership activity takes place.
Organization’s culture or school’s culture is made up of the beliefs and values which school
participants hold to be meaningful in the actual operation of the system. These values are
manifested in things such as rituals, roles, mores, traditions, and significant artifacts that represent these
values. School culture plays a major influence in the leadership that is provided by the principal because
the beliefs that are present in the school’s culture, actions, of the principal, teachers, students are
somewhat circumscribed by expectations for the goals of th e school.
The Principal as a Steward

steward of the system and the mission of the

While model of leadership has changed from being authoritarian to being collaborative, principals must
also step into a more directive role when the situation calls for immediate action and ensure that
measures are accomplished to protect the educational participants and the overall mission of the school.
The charismatic leader generally appears at times of stress and the state of mind of followers is a powerful
ingredient in explaining. The risk of a school following the charismatic leader is to depend on one
individual to have all of the ideas and to deal with all threats.
In the 21st Century-environment, leaders are no longer viewed as individuals who think the organization’s
way through the problems and assign tasks to those on the front lines in the classrooms. Senge, (in
Seifert & Vornberg, 2002, p.21) refers to the new model as learning organizations – that which
incorporates integrating thinking and acting at all levels. This requires not only adaptive learning in
schools to cope with new challenges, but also focus on generative learning, or creating new strategies
for unknown contingencies and ensuring that processes exist that continually improve those strategies.
Leaders in learning organizations influence their colleagues to focus not on events that occurred
(reactive), but the systemic structure of what is occurring (generative).

With the standard-based supervision, the main goal is to improve both teaching and learner performance.
School heads act as collaborative, supportive instructional leaders that continue to evaluate teacher
performance and mentor teachers to reflect and improve instruction. Thus, the ultimate goal of
supervision is the improvement of teaching-learning, thus, school teachers also become teacher leaders.
Instructional leadership is a joint responsibility of both the school heads and the school teachers. While
the school head is responsible of this role over the school teachers and staff, the teachers assume this
role among their peers and students. To address these responsibilities, the Department of Education
(DepEd) developed the National Competency-Based Standards for School Heads (NCBS-SH) and the
National Competency-Based Standards for Teachers (NCBTS). These two documents are the
foundations upon which the instructional supervision roles of the school heads and classroom teachers
are anchored.
Six (6) Fundamental standards that define what principals should do, (United States of America National
Association of Elementary School Principals, 2001):
1. Lead schools to place student learning at the center.
2. Set high expectations and standards for the academic performance of learners and adults.
3. Demand content and instruction that ensure student achievement on agreed upon academic
achievement.
4. Create a culture of continuous learning for adults connected to student learning.
5. Use multiple sources of data as diagnostic tool to assess, identify, and apply instructional improvement.
6. Actively engage the community to create shared responsibilities for student and school success.
Instructional Leadership is driven by the National Competency-Based Standards for School Heads (NCBS-
SH). DepEd in 2012 through the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA) developed the NCBS-SH as
the common standards for all school heads. The development was guided by the following basic principles.
1. Function-based. The competencies are based on school head functions as stated in RA 9155 or An Act
Instituting a Framework of Governance for Basic Education, Establishing Authority and Accountability,
Renaming the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS) as the Department of Education
(DepEd), related laws and DepEd policies.
2. Responsive. Competencies are applicable in any range of context: big or small school, city or rural
school, culturally divergent groups.
3. Impartial. These are applicable to any school head, regardless of position item, gender, age, experience
and other personal circumstances.
4. Coherent. These are clear and logical.
5. Valid. All performance indicators are research-and-experience-based.

School Culture
School culture has been and can be defined in many ways and in some cases it is described as school
climate, ethos or saga, (Seifert & Vornberg, 2002). In this discussion, school culture is defined as that
which refers to the interaction among the following factors:
1. Attitudes and beliefs held by stakeholders inside and outside the organization
2. Cultural norms of the school
3. Relationships among individuals in the school
School culture is composed of traditions, values, and beliefs that are held in common by the students,
teachers, and principals. Schools are direct reflection of the society from which the students come. As
teachers and principals, are fully aware, many of the conflicts, problems, and concerns that find their way
into the schools are deeply rooted in the community. Students bring to school the conflicts that are
occurring where they reside, whether that be with parents, siblings, or another student. Many times, these
conflicts are manifested outside the school doors only to be brought inside the school in terms of
arguments, fights, harassment, and violence.
The term school culture generally refers to the beliefs, perceptions, relationships, attitudes, and written
and unwritten rules that shape and influence every aspect of how a school functions. The term also
encompasses more concrete issues such as the physical and emotional safety of students, the
orderliness of the classrooms and public spaces, or he degree to which the school embraces and
celebrates, racial, ethnic, linguistic, or cultural diversity.
Like the larger social culture, a school culture results from both conscious and unconscious perspectives,
values, interactions, and practices and it is heavily shaped by a school’s particular institutional history.
Students, parents, teachers, administrators, and other staff members all contribute to their school’s
culture as do other influences such as the community in which the school is located, the policies that
govern how it operates, or the principles upon which the school was founded.
Generally, school culture is divided into two basic forms:
1. Positive cultures
2. Negative cultures
Positive school cultures are conducive to professional satisfaction, morale, and effectiveness, as well as
to student learning, fulfillment, and well-being. Below is a representative list of the characteristics
commonly associated with positive school culture:
1. The individual successes of teachers and students are recognized and celebrated;
2. Relationships and interactions are characterized by openness, trust, respect, and appreciation;
3. Staff relationships are collegial, collaborative and productive and all staff members are held to high
professional standards;
4. Students and staff members feel emotionally and physically safe, and the school’s policies and
facilities promote students’ safety;
5. School leaders, teachers and staff members model positive, healthy behaviors for students;
6. Mistakes not punished as failures, but they are seen as opportunities to learn and grow for both
students and educators;
7. Students are held consistently to high academic expectations and a majority of students meet or
exceed those expectations;
8. Important leadership decisions are made collaboratively with input from staff members, students and
parents;
9. Criticisms, when voice, is constructive and well-intentioned, not antagonistic or self-serving;
10. Educational resources and learning opportunities are equitably distributed to all students including
minorities and students with disabilities;
11. All students have access to the academic support and services they may need to succeed.
School Reforms
School culture has become a central concept in many efforts to change how schools operate and improve
educational results. While a school culture is heavily influenced by its institutional history, culture also
shapes social patterns, habits, and dynamics that influence future behaviors which could become an
obstacle to reform and improvement. For example, if a faculty culture is generally dysfunctional (if
interpersonal tensions and distrust are common, problems are rarely addressed or resolved, or staff
members tend to argue more than they collaborate or engage in productive professional discussion), it
is likely that these cultural factors will significantly complicate or hinder any attempt to change how the
school operates. The simple example illustrates why school culture has become the object of so many
research studies and reform efforts. Without a school culture that is conducive to improvement, reform
becomes exponentially more difficult.
LAS FTC 3 The Teacher and the Community, School Culture, and Organizational Leadership Prepared by: June Rex A. Bombales, LPT
The following describe a few representative examples of common ways that schools may attempt to
improve their culture:
1. Establishing Professional Learning Communities that encourages teachers to communicate, share
expertise, and work together more collegially and productively;
2. Providing presentations, seminars and learning experiences designed to educate staff and students
about bullying and reduce instances of bullying;
3. Creating events and educational experiences that honor and celebrate the racial, ethnic, and linguistic
diversity of the student body, such as hosting cultural events and festivals, exhibiting culturally
relevant materials throughout the school, inviting local cultural leaders to present to students, or
making explicit connections between the diverse cultural backgrounds of students and what is being
taught in History, Social Studies, and Literature courses;
4. Establishing an advisory or assigning an adult advisor to strengthen adult-student relationships and
ensure that students are well-known and supported by at least one adult in the school;
5. Surveying students, parents, and teachers about their experiences in the school, and hosting
community forums that invite participants to share their opinions about and recommendations for the
school and its programs;
6. Creating a leadership team comprising a representative cross-section of school administrators,
teachers, students, parents and community members that oversees and leads school improvement
initiatives.
Debate
Since most members of a school community will benefit from a more positive culture, and cultural factors
tend to contribute significantly to emotional states such as happiness and unhappiness or fulfillment and
dissatisfaction, the concept of a more positive culture, is rarely in itself controversial. For this reason,
debates tend to arise (if they arise at all) in response to specific reform proposals rather than to the
general goal of improving a school culture.
Given that organizational dysfunction is, by nature, an entrenched pattern of often unconscious
behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs that tend to obstruct organizational change and improvement – and
because human beings can become deeply attached to emotions and behaviors that may make them
less happy, fulfilled, productive or successful – attempts to reform school cultures are likely to encounter
resistance, criticisms, or controversy in schools that are most in need of cultural reforms.
In recent years, problems related to school culture are being cited as reasons for why schools should be
closed or why a significant percentage of the teaching faculty should be fired. In these cases, school
culture may become a flashpoint in larger debates about specific school-reform policies and strategies.
Because all school cultures are unique, it is important to investigate and develop an understanding of the
underlying causes of ay debates, including the preexisting cultural conditions that may be contributing to
the debates.
Culture Is Connections
A culture will be strong or weak depending on the interactions between people in the organization. In a
strong culture, there are many, overlapping, and cohesive interactions, so that knowledge about the
organization’s distinctive character – and what it takes to thrive in it – is widely spread. In a weak culture,
sparse interactions make it difficult for people to learn the organization’s culture, so its character is barely
noticeable and the commitment is scarce or sporadic.
Beliefs, values, and actions will spread the farthest and be tightly reinforced when everyone is
communicating with everyone else. In a strong school culture, leaders communicate directly with
teachers, administrators, counselors, and families, who also communicate directly with each other. A
culture is weaker when communications are limited and there are fewer connections. For example, if
certain teachers never hear directly from their principal, an administrator is continually excluded from
communications, or any groups of staff members are operating in isolation from others, it will be difficult
for messages about shared beliefs and commitments to spread.
Within that weak or strong structure, what exactly people believe and how they act depends on the
messages – both direct and indirect – that the leaders and others in the organization send. A good culture
arises from messages that promote traits like collaboration, honesty and hard work.

Shared
Values
Fundamental
Beliefs and Norms
Assumptions
Culture is shaped by five interwoven elements, each of which principals have the power to influence.
1. Fundamental beliefs and assumptions, or the things that people at your school consider as true. For
example, “All students have the potential to succeed.” or “Teaching is a team sport.”
2. Shared values, or the judgments people at your school make about those beliefs and assumptions –
whether they are right or wrong, good or bad, just or unjust. For example, “It is wrong that some of our
students may not have the same opportunity to graduate from college.” Or “It is not just for teachers not
to teach well for they deprive students the opportunity to learn and improve their lives.”
3. Norms or how members believe they should act and behave, or what they think is expected of them. For
example, “We should talk often and early to parents of our students about what it will take for their children
to graduate from college.”
4. Patterns and behaviors or the way people actually act and behave in your school.
5. Tangible evidence, or the physical, visual, auditory or other sensory signs that demonstrate the
behaviors of the people in your school. For example, prominently displayed posters showcasing the
school’s enrollment or a full parking lot an hour before school or class sessions start.
Each of these components influences and drives the others, forming a circle of reinforcing beliefs and
actions. Bridwell-Mitchell says, strong connections among every member of the school community
reinforce the circle at every point.
School Culture
Successful schools emerge from the direction of the principals who see the school organization from a
holistic point of view. Seeing the big picture is what principals do when they understand and are able to
communicate and shape the values, beliefs and attitudes of faculty and students. This allows them to
give guidance to the future of the organization.
Culture can affect what teachers discuss in their classroom, in the faculty room, etc.
Cultural beliefs and attitudes impact school improvement to the point that teachers and students
internalize those beliefs and make them personal values.
People new to the school must learn the culture or face sanctions employed by the school.
Students and teachers must not become totally socialized to the culture or else the organization will run
the risk of stagnation.
A deterrent to a positive school culture is teacher and principal mobility. The loss of key members of any
organization always impacts on the improvement of the organization.
It is the principal’s responsibility to provide direction so that the school culture becomes a positive force
in allowing the school to become the best it can be.
1. Principals interested in modifying or changing their school culture must identify and understand
the current culture. Cultural change must be done carefully and with some hesitation
2. Principals must understand that actions support deeply held beliefs. It is important that they
address the beliefs of all the stakeholders is school improvement is to occur.
3. Principals must be open to constructive criticisms and the willingness to confront their own beliefs.
Changing the school culture for school improvement must be the target, not change for change’s sake.

At any point in time, the image of the future will evolve and the principal that can adapt to internal and/or
external threats is the person capable of creating a dynamic school culture, (Senge, in Seinfert &
Vornberg, 2002, p.95).
Bosworth’s Strategies for Changing School Culture (For the School Leaders)
1. Establish a program of rewards for positive behavior
2. Communicate core values by modeling appropriate behavior
3. Celebrate staff, student, and community accomplishments
4. Use staff development for teachers and students that allows for giving and receiving praise
5. Assure that teachers and students learn to optimize the opportunities to demonstrate respectful behavior
6. Communicate expectations in clear and concise manner
7. Provide development in conflict and negotiation skills.
The School Improvement Model of School Culture (Cavanaugh & Dellar, 1997)
The nucleus of the model is composed of the values and norms held by individual teachers. These values
and norms form the elements of the school culture as they are exchanged among all the faculty members.
Should this fail to occur, there will be an absence of school culture. Teachers working in isolation have
no way of solving school-related problems.
The factors that cause schools to improve academically and culturally:
1. Teacher efficacy. It is about the value teachers place on schooling and the level to which they will
work to accomplish the goals of the organization. The teachers’ values are given credence by their
participation in the school community.
2. Collegiality. It is concerned with and among teachers’ interpersonal relationships and their need for
empowerment. With collegiality comes support from principals and other teachers which in turn
provide educational confidence in the teaching and learning process. With this confidence, teachers
become willing participants in classroom research and innovation. Most of all, they trust each other
and the principal to help with problems and listen when mistakes occur.
3. Collaboration. Focuses on teacher-to-teacher discourse in the formal setting of the school
organization. This aspect of school culture provides the consistency in instruction that students must
have to be successful. Moving from class-to-class and teacher-to-teacher, students’ learning
experiences are enhanced by a unified curriculum and a variety of instructional strategies.
4. Shared planning. Assumes that teachers know and understand the school vision and their
willingness to participate and implement the school’s targets. This type of planning provides a unity
of purpose for all stakeholders. Teacher participation in decision-making mandates that teachers
know and understand school policies, procedures, and most of all the school’s future direction. Being
equal partners in decision making provides the motivation for teachers to pull their share of the load.
5. Transformational leadership. Focuses on the principal’s willingness and capacity to support
teachers and programs. Principals must be willing to divest themselves of some leadership
responsibilities to focus on the school and community. This does not mean an abdication of
responsibility by the principal, but it does mean a sharing of that responsibility with the entire school
community. Sharing of responsibility should cause individuals in the school to develop leadership
skills by capturing the energy and expertise of the professionals in the organization.

Functions of Schools
Schools is first and foremost a social institution, an established organization having an identifiable
structure and a set of functions meant to preserve and extend social order, (McNergney & Hebert In
Vega, et al. 2015, p.87). Its primary function is to move young people in the mainstream of society. The
curricula, teaching process of evaluation and relationships among people reinforce a public image to
which young people are expected to aspire. It is concerned with preserving our heritage, adapting to
social change and making change happen where it is needed.
The school is a place for contemplation of reality, and out task as teachers is to show this reality to
students. At home, the family teaches children this reality in personal, informal, and unstructured way. In
school, we teach reality in professional, formal and structured way. Hence in school there is a set of
curriculum which includes knowledge subjects, skills subjects, and enabling subjects. There are also
teachers who facilitate learning, who teach children and youth certain types of acceptable behavior, and
see to it that children develop in all aspects – physically, emotionally, socially, and academically.
The Multiple School Functions (Yin Cheong Cheng In Vega, et al. 2015, p.88)
1. Technical/Economic
2. Human/Social
3. Political
4. Cultural
5. Educational
Technical/Economic Functions. They refer to the contributions of schools to the technical or economic
development and needs of individuals, the institution, the local community, the society and the international
community.
At the individual level, schools can help students acquire knowledge and skills necessary to survival and
to compete in a modern society or a competitive economy and provide job training and opportunity.
At the institutional level, schools are service organizations providing quality service. They serve as life
place or work place of society for clients, employers, and all those concerned.
LAS FTC 3 The Teacher and the Community, School Culture, and Organizational Leadership Prepared by: June Rex A. Bombales, LPT
At the community and society levels, schools serve the economic or instrumental needs of the local
community, supply quality labor forces to the economic system, modify or shape economic behaviors of
students (future customers and citizens), contribute to the development and stability of the manpower
structure of the economy.
At the international level, school education supplies the high quality forces necessary in international
competitions, economic cooperation, earth protection, and technology and information exchange.
Human/Social Functions. They refer to the contributions of schools to human development and social
relationships at different levels of society.
At the individual level, schools help individuals develop themselves, psychologically, socially, and
physically, and help them develop their potential as fully as possible.
At the institutional level, a school is a social entity or social system composed of different social
relationships. The quality of social climate and relationships in it often determines the quality of work life
and learning life for teachers and students. Therefore, one of the important functions is to provide
environment of quality.
At the community and society levels. According to Functionalism, schools serve the social needs or
functions of the local community, support social integration of multiple and diverse constituencies of
society, facilitate the social mobility within the existing social class structure, reinforce social equality for
all people of different backgrounds, select and allocate competent people to appropriate roles and
positions, and contribute to social change and development in the long run.
From the Conflict perspective, it is possible that schools reproduce the existing social class structure and
perpetuate social inequality
Due to growing global consciousness, schools are expected to play an important role in preparing
students for international harmony, social cooperation, global human relationship, and elimination of
national, regional, racial, and gender biases at the international level.
Political Functions. They refer to the contribution of schools to the political development at different levels of
society.
At the individual level, schools help students to develop positive civic attitudes and skills to exercise the
rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
At the community and society levels, schools serve the political needs of the local community, maintain
the stability of the political structure, promote awareness and movement of democracy, and facilitate the
planned political development and changes.
At the international level, schools act as a place for systematically socializing students into a set of
political norms, values, and beliefs, or for critically discussing and reflecting on the existing political
events. Schools often become a political coalition of teachers, parents, and students that can contribute
to the stability of the political power structure.
The growing awareness of international dependence reinforces the needs for the contribution of school
education to international understanding, global common interest, international coalitions, peace
movements against war, and eliminations of conflicts between regions and nations.
Cultural Functions. They refer to the contributions of schools to the cultural transmission and development at
different levels of society.
At the individual level, schools help students to develop their creativity and aesthetic awareness and to
be socialized with the successful norms, values, and beliefs of society.
At the institutional level, schools act as a place for systematic cultural transmission to and reproduction
of the next generation, cultural integration among the multiple and diverse constituencies, and cultural
revitalization of the outdated poor traditions.
At the community and society levels, schools serve as a cultural unit carrying the explicit norms and
expectations of the local community, transmit all the important values and artifacts of society to students,
integrate the diverse subcultures from different backgrounds, and revitalize the strengths of the existing
culture such that the society can reduce internal conflicts and wastage, an build up a unifying force for
the nation.
At the international level, schools can encourage appreciation of cultural diversity, and acceptance of
different norms, traditions, values, and beliefs in different countries and regions, and finally contribute to
the development of global culture through integration of different cultures.
Education functions. They refer to the contributions of schools to the development and maintenance of
education at different levels of society.
LAS FTC 3 The Teacher and the Community, School Culture, and Organizational Leadership Prepared by: June Rex A. Bombales, LPT
At the individual level, it is important for schools to help students to learn how to learn and help teacher
to learn how to teach. Facilitating teachers’ professional development is one of the key functions of
education at this level.
At the institutional level, schools serve as a systematic place for systematic learning, teaching and
disseminating knowledge, and as a center for systematically experimenting and implementing
educational changes and development.
At the community and society levels, schools provide service for different educational needs of the local
community, facilitate development of education professions and education structures, disseminate
knowledge and information to the next generation, and contribute to the formation of a learning society.
At the international level, schools help promote mutual understanding among nations and build up a
global family for the younger generation. Schools can contribute to the development of global education
and international education exchange and cooperation.

Promulgated at the start of the 21st century, policy makers believe that the enumerated functions and
responsibilities need to be reviewed. New perspectives of transformative leadership are emerging aimed
to reinvent/reshape school leadership.
Sergiovanni (in Llagas, et al. 2016) proposes a reflective practice perspective initiating that administering
which includes the principalship is a moral craft with three dimensions: (1) heart, (2) head, and (3) hand.
LAS FTC 3 The Teacher and the Community, School Culture, and Organizational Leadership Prepared by: June Rex A. Bombales, LPT
Institutional Culture
Selznick’s conception of institution is similar to the more familiar conception of school as learning
community. To become wither, the school must move beyond concerns for goals and roles to the task of
building purposes into its structure and embodying these purposes in everything that it does with the
effect of transforming school members from neutral participants to committed followers. The embodiment
of purpose and the development of followership are inescapably moral.
Reinventing principalship accepts the assumption that leadership is not a right but a responsibility. The
test of moral leadership is when the followers and other stakeholders believe in the competence, and
well-being of the leader who encourages and support empowerment of the followers for the benefit of the
school
Sergiovanni (in Llagas, et al. 2016) differentiates a follower from a subordinate. Subordinates respond to
bureaucratic authority and sometimes to personal authority. Followers by contrast, respond to ideas. You
can’t be a follower unless you have something to follow. Zalenick suggests that subordinate may
cooperate with the management system but are rarely committed to it. By contrast, one of the hallmarks
of being a follower is commitment. Kelly suggests that followers are committed to the organization, to a
purpose or principle. They build their competence and focus their efforts for maximum impact.
Subordinates do what they are supposed to do, and they do not tend to do more.
What may a principal do to develop and help emerge followership?
To do these, principals may have to draw from the 4 sources of authority as described by Sergiovanni.
1. Bureaucratic Authority. When principals use bureaucratic authority, they rely on rules, mandates, and
regulations in efforts to direct thought and action.
2. Personal Authority. When principals use personal authority, they rely on their own interpersonal style,
cleverness, guile, political know-how and other forms of managerial and psychological skills in order
to direct thought and action.
3. Professional Authority. When principals rely on professional authority, they appeal to expertise,
expecting everyone to be subordinates to a form of technical rationality that is presumably validated
by craft notions of what constitutes best educational practice or scientific findings from educational
research.
4. Moral Authority. When principals rely on moral authority, they bring to the forefront a form of normative
rationality as discussed above that places every subordinate to a set of ideas, ideals, and shared
values and asks them to respond morally by doing their duty, meeting their obligations, and accepting
their responsibilities.
All are important, but the art of leadership is balancing the four competing sources of authority in such a
way that moral and professional authority flourish without neglecting bureaucratic and personal authority.
In the principalship, the challenge of leadership is anchored on competing imperatives, the management
and the moral imperative. If schools are to survive, they have to be managed effectively and efficiently.
Policies are implemented, resources should be available, and the school should be child-friendly. More
than these imperatives, the school must transform into an institution, a learning community.
Institutionalization is the moral imperative that principals face. Leadership values are internalized such
as empowerment, balance of professional and moral sources of authority making the professional
manager conception of the principalship.
The challenge of leadership would lead to institutionalizing a school culture. Culture influences what is
thought of and done in the school by the principal possessing cultural leadership. The challenge of cultural
with moral leadership in schools is for the principals to engage in the process of decision-making without
thought to self-interest.
The principal leads in developing a school culture that:
Affects how individuals treat and relate to one another
Develops slowly and is remarkably resistant to change
Is shaped by the behavior of everyone in the organization – administration, learners, faculty, staff and
parents
Shapes teachers’ feeling optimistic and positive about their work and not frustrated that their expertise
and efforts are not being used to best advantage
Shapes the tone of the organization; a positive culture inspires optimism and hope; a negative culture
promotes cynicism and defeatism
Enhances respect toward learners which does not happen by itself; it must be cultivated
Promotes interpersonal relationship with respect, both personal and professional
Promotes student culture of hard work, responsibility and success
Enhances ongoing learning and professional inquiry which are regarded as hallmarks of a profession
Ensures the quality of the initiatives undertaken by the administration, faculty, staff, students, parents
and community (LGUs and NGOs)
Culminates Total Quality Management (TQM) and Total Quality Education (TQE)
