Recalibrate The Culture: Our Why...Our Work...Our Values

by Jimmy Casas

In Recalibrate the Culture, author Jimmy Casas examines the challenges that teachers, leaders, and schools face and shares his assessment on what makes the difference in the overall culture of a school - why do some continue to show positive results while others continue to struggle to maintain a healthy learning environment for all students and staff? This book provides the necessary strategies and tools to assist all teachers, principals, and district office administrators in exploring our inner selves to understand the role we each play in how we can impact the climate and culture of an entire campus when we are strategic and aligned in our practices. The classroom, building, and district levels must see themselves as one and must be intentional in replicating the processes, protocols, and frameworks provided in this book to recalibrate and bring about system-wide change and cultivate a healthier culture.

When we equip our people with a new way of thinking and strategies for approaching their work, we can revitalize our schools and make an immediate positive impact on the culture of every classroom and school across the country.

Read as a work book study. Pretty good book with a new look at some different perspectives of common thoughts. I like the refraining as a whole and the reminders to keep looking at ourselves first before pointing fingers at others.

[Wesley Morgan]

Not a lot of original content here. I think I'd rather read the Simon Sinek books he quotes. It's a useful book that led to some good discussions with my fellow school leaders. My favorite point was that we need to actively seek feedback in order to avoid hidden "undercurrents" of negative culture.

This book was a good reminder of the importance and value of systems and teams to mitigate the stress of an administrator's daily grind.

[Stephanie Splechter]

Very good follow up to Culterize.

Great read. A good summer refresh for leadership.

Great, practical, easy to read and apply advice for educators. Well, really anyone at any level of leadership. I marked MANY excellent quotes that I will return to next year.

This was a required reading for our school district, but it was one I enjoyed. This book had great ideas for how to rethink and change the culture of your personal work environment.
