Why use the tool? SWOT Analysis is a very
effective way of identifying your Strengths and
Weaknesses, and of examining the
Opportunities and Threats you face. Carrying out an
analysis using the SWOT framework helps
you to focus your activities into areas
where you are strong and where the greatest
opportunities lie.

Poor fit between organization and people = one suffers
Good fit= both benefit

The Political Frame - assumptions
Organizations are coalitions
Enduring differences prevail

important resourceGoals emerge from
bargaining, negotiation and jockeying – not from strategic planning

The chapter on motivating staff includes five R’s: recognition, relationships, resources, rewards, and rituals. Schmidt suggests using a staff roster to keep track of your recognitions in order to make sure no one is neglected. Recognition ideas include a “Many Thanks” form made available to parents for them to send to teachers.

Examining the FramesThese frames color how we look at organizationsin terms of planning, implementation, and evaluation a. structural frame - examine structural relationship
of formal roles within organizationb. b. human resource frame - tailors organization to
needs of employeesc. c. political frame - emphasizes fight over scarce
resources; conflict is to be expected and has to be managed
d. d. symbolic frame - argues that organizations are not rational; held together by rituals, ceremonies, and heroes

SWOT Analysis: LessonSWOT analysis is a tool for auditing an organization and its environment. It is the first stage of planning and helps marketers to focus on key issues.
Once key issues have been identified, they feed into marketing objectives. It can be used in conjunction with other tools for audit and analysis, such as PEST analysis and Porter's Five-Forces analysis. It is a very popular tool with marketing students because it is quick and easy to learn. During the SWOT exercise, list factors in the relevant boxes. It's that simple.
SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors.

In some schools, teachers hold low expectations and classroom routines bore children to death. School staff may complain bitterly and work to undermine eacher other. Parents may be overwhelmed by issues of economic and personal survival, and students may be more focused on drugs and life on the street than on books and classrooms.
People can become as attached to mediocrity, negative symbols, and harmful rituals as they can to positive heroes, symbols of achievement, or celebratory rituals. For some, negative meaning is better than no meaning at all. Deal and Peterson, Principal’s Role in Shaping School Culture, Wash., U.S. Ed. Dept., 1991.)

Defining Organizational Culture• Definitions range from simple to complex
• Commonly used to describe an organization’s traditional practices and modes of operating or its climate and general ambience.
• “I didn’t fit their culture. My style is assertive and theirs is laissez-faire.”
• “The culture of the school is terrible. They don’t get along and only look out for themselves.”
• Although this definition is not inappropriate, it isn’t totally correct.

Edgar ScheinThe deeper level of basic assumptions and
beliefs that are shared by members of an organization, that operate unconsciously, and that define in a basic ‘taken for granted’ fashion an organization’s view of itself and its environment. As these assumptions and beliefs permeate and entire organization, they become invisible; they become so accepted, so automatic and ingrained in the organization’s routine practices that they are automatically taught to its new members, by both precept and example, as the “correct way” to perceive, think and feel about problems. (Schein, 1992, p.12)

School Improvement Cycle• The school improvement cycle involves a team effort. Representatives from the
local communities and local schools, including individual administrators and teachers, engage in continuous cycles of improvement. It is a self-regulating cycle - the team decides for itself what its schools should be, how they should operate, and in what ways they should change and improve their approaches to teaching and learning. We envision the school improvement cycle working in the following way:

The Culture of The Culture of ResistanceResistance• Like almost all other
complex traditional social organizations, the schools will accommodate in ways
that require little or no
change…The strength of the status quo – its underlying axioms, its pattern of power relationships, its sense of tradition and therefore what seems right, natural, and proper – almost automatically rules out options for change. Seymour Sarason (1990, p. 35)
![Page 40: Leadership Academy 2003 Organizational Analysis ADMN 607 Dr. Sheila Tebbano tebbanos@schenectady.k12.ny.us 518-248-9915 (cell phone which works intermittently](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e545503460f94b4a6b7/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Recognizing the face of resistance
Some common types of resistance encountered by staff developers:
Aggressive resistance. This is the easiest type to identify, because it's overt and no effort is made to disguise the refusal to change. For example, a colleague confronts a lead teacher with: "Under no circumstances will I participate in another cirriculum committee. Let someone else do the work."
Passive-aggressive resistance. In these cases, staff members appear willing to change, but change never materializes. It's common to hear people say, "I'll be glad to lend a hand as soon as I finish this paper work," or "I'll try to clear my schedule so I can attend the conference.“ Unfortunately, the paper work never ends, the calendar is never cleared, and "try" never becomes "will." Meanwhile, support for an initiative slowly erodes. Phantom obstacles are also common: For example, teachers may express interest in working with a university professor to explore new math teaching strategies, but then back away from change by claiming that "parents don't like us experimenting with the way we teach."
Passive resistance. This looks like wholehearted acceptance until action fails to take place. Staff members willingly discuss change, and may in fact seem enthusiastic, but never follow through. This is the most difficult form of resistance to detect because it's subtle and sounds supportive. All too often, staff developers hear exclamations of "sounds great," "count me in," "let's do it" in meetings, only to discover weeks later that action failed to materialize. -Monica Janas

Peter Senge – Learning Organizations
• Today and in the future, the organizations that will truly excel will be the ones that discover how to tap people's commitment and capacity to learn at all levels in an organization. Learning organizations are fundamentally different from traditional authoritarian "controlling organizations.“ Senge, The Fifth Discipline

Components of a Learning Organization
1. Systems thinking--Senge attests that we must look at the patterns that connect the larger system. Systems thinkers cure headaches by removing the cause, rather than simply ingesting aspirin. They pay careful attention to how different tasks and functions interact. Systems thinkers believe that by examining these patterns of interplay, we can better pinpoint the important issues.

Personal mastery --Senge stresses the significance of continually clarifying and deepening our personal vision, focusing our energies, developing patience, and seeing reality objectively.
![Page 47: Leadership Academy 2003 Organizational Analysis ADMN 607 Dr. Sheila Tebbano tebbanos@schenectady.k12.ny.us 518-248-9915 (cell phone which works intermittently](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e545503460f94b4a6b7/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Shared vision--Senge defines this discipline as the "picture of the future." A shared vision is intuitive and instinctive; it's not something that's learned by rote. A shared vision is also a collective experience--it's the cumulative total of each participant's personal vision.

Team learning -- Senge's fourth discipline states that any group's collective IQ will always be much higher than an individual's IQ. The only way to begin building group IQ is to open the channels of communication within the group and start talking to one another.
![Page 49: Leadership Academy 2003 Organizational Analysis ADMN 607 Dr. Sheila Tebbano tebbanos@schenectady.k12.ny.us 518-248-9915 (cell phone which works intermittently](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e545503460f94b4a6b7/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Mental models -- Senge defines mental models as the deeply ingrained assumptions, generalizations, and even pictures or images that influence how we understand the world. Since how we act is based on our impressions of our surrounding environment, it's imperative that we recognize and re-evaluate our mental models and preconceived assumptions.
![Page 50: Leadership Academy 2003 Organizational Analysis ADMN 607 Dr. Sheila Tebbano tebbanos@schenectady.k12.ny.us 518-248-9915 (cell phone which works intermittently](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e545503460f94b4a6b7/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
• Senge's five components of a learning organization are all interrelated. Personal mastery, shared vision, team learning, and mental models make up the foundation of the organization. And systems thinking is the cement that holds it all together. In order for the learning organization to work, each of the five disciplines must be developed simultaneously and integrated with one another.

Peter Senge 11 Laws of the Fifth Discipline
1. Today's problems come from yesterday's solutions.
2. The harder you push, the harder the system pushes back.
3. Behavior grows better before it grows worse.
4. The easy way out usually leads back in.
5. The cure can be worse than the disease.
6. Faster is slower.
7. Cause and effect are not closely related in time and space.
8. Small changes can produce big results--but the areas of highest leverage are often the least obvious.
9. You can have your cake and eat it too--but not all at once.
10. Dividing an elephant in half does not produce two small elephants.
11. There is no blame.

Parable of the Boiled Frog• How does the parable
relate to your school organization? Has our ability to survive been compromised by gradual change? How do schools compare to the auto industry in the 80’s and 90’s? Does education have the strength to pull itself out of the hot water?

Why do we want a learning community?
•A LC gives organizations the possibilities to discover who they are, where they want to go, and define the quality of life they wish to pursue.

School ChangeSchool Change•Institutional Readiness
–The capacity to adopt and implement an innovation is crucial to its success in innovating. Evans (1996)
Do conditions exist in the school setting to permit it to tackle its problems?
![Page 61: Leadership Academy 2003 Organizational Analysis ADMN 607 Dr. Sheila Tebbano tebbanos@schenectady.k12.ny.us 518-248-9915 (cell phone which works intermittently](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e545503460f94b4a6b7/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Key Factors that shape the organizational setting of a
school• Organizational Framework – – Teachers social status, nature of the work, structure of the
profession
• Politics– Trust, consensus, autonomy
• History– School’s previous experience with inovation
• Stress– Level of demand on the school in comparison to its strengths;
isolation
• Finances– School’s ability to underwrite the feform
• Culture– Supportiveness of the school’s underlying ethos and shared
assumptions
