       If something feels off in your building, trust that instinct. Then begin where culture always begins: within your sphere of influence, your leadership decisions, your classroom norms, your team expectations. The encouraging truth is that culture is always shifting. With intentional attention and consistent action, it can shift toward the vision we hold for our students and staff.
