Power Dynamic

The power dynamic in the school is the teachers and principal.  They would all meet for staff meetings.  The teachers had time to express concerns or ideas and the principal would listen to them.  They would have a discussion as a group on each topic brought up.  Depending on the topic the principal come back to them with an answer either right away or the following day.  The principal was the one that made the final decisions but she always would hear the opinions of each person on whatever is being discussed.  The topics discussed are anything from parent teacher conference dates,school events, testing or individual grade level activities.  This information could be used to influence change by using this time to express any ideas I have for change to the whole staff and principal in one place.  This is the best way to influence change in the school.
