Culture Hacks
Over the last several years I have been asked to share ideas we have used to positively impact school culture. This page provides a list of some of the ideas we have implemented. While I am by no means an expert in the field of organizational culture, my experiences indicate when ideas like these are utilized they will provide positive returns within an educational community.
Although I am sharing these ideas through the context of the educational setting, I believe many ideas are universal and could positively impact culture in a variety of settings. In fact, a number of the ideas we have implemented originate outside the field of education.
​
This page serves as a personal journal so I can document and revisit these ideas as well as push myself to continue to implement new ideas. Furthermore, this page serves as a resource for others to try out new ideas in their own settings. My goal is to continue adding new ideas, so please remember to return in the future!
