Peterson and Terrence E. Deal described the critical elements of school culture—the purposes, traditions, norms, and values that guide and glue the community together. The authors showed how a positive culture makes school reform work and the companion Fieldbook included the tools needed to bring out the best in students, teachers, and the surrounding community\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn today's complex educational environment, new challenges have surfaced for school leaders who must grapple with issues of standards-based testing, school accountability, and student achievement. The second edition of The Shaping School Culture Fieldbook offers a companion to the newly revised edition of Shaping School Culture and includes an expanded version of Peterson and Deal's time-tested model to address the latest thinking on school culture and change. The Fieldbook offers a wealth of new ideas and approaches and includes new material on \"toxic\" environments with specific action plans. In addition, the book contains powerful new case examples for revitalizing school culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Shaping School Culture Fieldbook draws on the authors' extensive research and nationwide school contacts and includes hands-on strategies and exercises for helping school leaders:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUncover a school's hidden values, beliefs, and assumptions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eThink through and develop a school's mission and purpose\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eWork out appropriate stories, metaphors, and symbols to represent a school\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eDevise rituals and ceremonies for enriching the school experience\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eRethink leadership practices in light of educational and cultural needs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eIdentify, transform, and heal a \"toxic\" educational culture\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis important resource will help school leaders understand, assess, and transform school culture for organizational success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgments.  \u003cp\u003eThe Authors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
