Organizational Assessment is a structured methodology for assessing
and learning about the strengths and weaknesses of a particular
system. The primary goal for this service is the increased awareness
of systemic issues that hinder and support organizational integrity.
Based on the assessment, an action plan is offered to improve
efficiency, productivity, and/or cohesion within the school
system. Our staff helps you focus on the general area to be
assessed, such as school violence, or customize the evaluation
for a broader based assessment.
There are many levels to this service, but typically includes
the three dimensions of school culture that influence organizational
health:
A. Climate
B. Adaptation
C. Infrastructure
Climate is the specific organizational culture component that
addresses the mood or milieu of the organization. It is comprised
of a collection of moods and their interaction by various individuals
within the school. The climate embraces the way various systems
interrelate to satisfy the needs of the organization and the
individual. Climate includes:

demands of its internal and external environments. Adaptation
