The single greatest determinant of student learning is the faculty. Teachers are far more important than the curriculum, facilities, administration or any other aspect of a school's operations. Investment in teachers yields a high rate of return, improves teaching and learning, and helps to improve schools.Central to determining teacher effectiveness is faculty culture. A healthy faculty culture is essential for students to learn and teachers to teach at the highest levels of their abilities. On the flip side, an unhealthy culture is a disease that permeates the life of the school community and saps energy for learning.We know that school culture and the nature of relationships among adults in schools is a significant determinant of students' academic and social progress. While subject-area knowledge and teaching skills are necessary, a school's faculty culture, more than any other factor, determines the level of student learning. Yet, faculties are typically characterized by departmentalization, turf wars and isolation. As Roland Barth states so well, "All too often, the adult relationships are (in that wonderful phrase from preschool education) parallel play. For hours at a...more

A common category of signs is school area signs. These include informational, warning and symbolic type signage. School signs are the most diverse in terms of format and design, but many of them mean essentially the same thing with a few different details. School signs can be in the shape of a square, rectangle, diamond, pentagon, triangle, and octagon. "School Bus Stop Ahead" is pretty self-explanatory in meaning; this means that the yellow bus holding children will make a stop to either pick them up or drop them off. It also means that vehicles should switch lanes if they don't want to be stuck behind the bus while students load or unload. "No Parking Fire Lane" is located at schools, retail stores, commercial parking lots, secondary streets, etc. It warns drivers not to park there because if a fire occurs, the fire engine truck needs easy access to that area to put out a fire and tap into a fire hydrant.Vehicles that park there regardless of the warning are ticket and towed away. This will happen whether there is a fire or not."No Parking Bus Stop" is a similar meaning to "Bus Stop Ahead. The only difference is that "No Parking Bus Stop" specifically says that no vehicle...more
