Utilizing the TeamWorks International “Whole System View” Framework (located in the Resources Module), conduct an initial review of the culture in the Learning Organization where you currently work. Consider how culture influences the structures and leaders and how it ultimately contributes to the work and results being achieved in your organization.  
Review the readings. Pay close attention to the 4 Essential Skills for Transformational Leadership required to address “motivation and resistance to change” identified in Time for Change and the improvement principles listed in Bryk et al. It is important to note that these are important elements for leading and making essential and equitable changes in your organization. Using these "skills" and "principles" addresses how the "culture" in your educational system influences recent past and current patterns of "work" and "organization" of the system and people in it. Also, consider how these practices result in students' daily learning experiences and outcomes.  Be specific with your comments and link them to the concepts in this week’s readings.
