The Culture Audit: A Leadership Tool for Assessment and Strategic Planning in Diverse Schools and Colleges
Bustamante, Rebecca M.
International Journal of Educational Leadership Preparation, v1 n2 Jul-Dec 2006
This module is designed to introduce educational leaders to an organizational assessment tool called a "culture audit." Literature on organizational cultural competence suggests that culture audits are a valuable tool for determining how well school policies, programs, and practices respond to the needs of diverse groups and prepare students to interact globally. Data gathered from culture audits can guide school and community-wide strategic planning efforts to close achievement gaps, promote prosocial behaviors, and develop global competencies.
