Oklahoma has long enjoyed the status of the best career andtechnology education system in the country, maybe even theworld. Its hard for us as a system to see that we might need

to change because we are so good at what we do. What is thepurpose of your school improvement plan and how did youcome to pick the purpose?

Discussion

"The school's culture dictates, in no uncertain terms, "theway we do things around here." Ultimately, a school's culturehas far more influence on life and learning in the schoolhouse

than the state department of education, the superintendent,the school board, or even the principal can ever have."(Professional Learning Communities at Work, 2008)

Describe that impact of your school culture on your schoolimprovement plan.
