Education relational culture relational cultural theory STEM urban high school staff culture This study examines the relational culture among staff in an emerging urban science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) high school. Findings demonstrate that in the highly collaborative environment of the school, relationships between staff members were rooted in practices of mutual respect, integrity and trust, good communication, open mindedness, and reflection. These practices, which served to help develop, strengthen, and maintain staff relationships, were possible in part thanks to the presence of a distributed model of teacher leadership (Spillane, 2007). Existing staff members participated in a highly structured hiring process for new staff. The academic structure of the school and its recent formation required frequent and intense interaction between staff members that demonstrated co-creativity and resulted in many complex and highly differentiated relationships (Tronick, 2007). Reflection occurred not only on the level of individual teacher practitioners, but collaboratively between individuals and groups, not only about academic practices, but relational ones as well. 2014-10-10 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1406880932 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1406880932 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
