Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Pedagogy - The Teacher, Educational Leadership, grade: A+, Aga Khan University (IED DAR-ES SALAAM), course: Teacher Education, language: English, abstract: Educators are constantly dealing with change as they strive to respond to their students’ and societal needs. Their success in this venture lies not in changing individual components of school structures in isolation but by changing the whole culture. As Naylor argues, culture and change are interrelated and constantly influence each other either negatively or positively with the latter culminating into school improvement which should be the hallmark of the change process. This paper therefore, discusses the impact of school culture on the change process and vice versa. It also shows how Miles’ change framework can be employed in the change process to achieve school improvement.
