"In this thoroughly revised and updated edition of their classic book, Shaping School Culture, Terrence Deal and Kent Peterson address the latest thinking on organizational culture and change and offer new ideas and strategies on how stories, rituals, traditions, and other cultural practices can be used to create positive, caring, and purposeful schools. This new edition gives expanded attention to the important symbolic roles of school leaders, including practical suggestions on how leaders can balance cultural goals and values against accountability demands, and features new and powerful case examples throughout."
"Hudley and Gottfried's new book is on the cutting edge of this important research. The chapters in this book focus on both the cultures of schools, and how the cultures of schools are related to larger societal structures within the United States. The book contains an excellent balance of research examining both descriptive relationships among variables as well as novel interventions designed to enhance motivation. This book will be an extremely valuable resource both for researchers and for students of education and psychology." -- Eric M. Anderman, Professor, School of Educational Policy and Leadership, The Ohio State University
