School Mission, Vission, and Values

The foundation of school culture’s elements lays at

the mission and vission of the school. Underlying
the mission and vission statements are the values
the school holds which determine what
philosophies and standards the individuals will
assimilate and incorporate into his or her everyday
teaching and learning.

 In addition to the mission and vission
statements, a school has values, beliefs,
assumptions, and norms that quide and
control the behavior of the individuals
involved. Values are expressed as the way
the school communicates what it presents
and ushers decision-making and priorities.
Moreover, according to Ott (1989), values
are the core of what the school considers
important.
 Beliefs are understandings about the world around us.
They are consciously held, cognitive views about truth
and reality (Ott 1989) In, addition, beliefs are how we
understand the world and people around us while
assumptions are a set of beliefs perceptions, and values
the guide behavior.
 Norms are the unspoken rules for what is regarded as
customary or acceptable behavior and action within the
school (Stoll, 1998). Sarason (1996) shared that norms
shape reactions to internally or externally proposed or
imposed improvements.
 Stoll and Fink (1996) determined ten cultural norms that influence
school improvement, because norms are frequently unspoken,
catchphrases articulate their core messages. The ten cultural norms of
improving schools are:

1. Shared goals- “we know where we’re

going”
