Culture Health Assessment
A culture diagnostic across nine reinforcing dimensions. Rate how consistently each statement is true of your school, then generate a Culture Health Score with your cultural strengths, growth opportunities, and a leadership roadmap. Saved privately in this browser.
Dimension weighting reflects doctoral research on the leadership behaviors — trust, communication, recognition, voice, and psychological safety — most strongly tied to school culture and teacher retention. This survey is illustrative; adapt items to your context.
Scale: 1 Rarely · 2 Occasionally · 3 Sometimes · 4 Often · 5 Consistently. Rate every statement for the most accurate score.
🤝 Trust & 💬 Communication
Staff trust that leadership is consistent and follows through on commitments.
People can rely on one another and assume positive intent in everyday interactions.
Information flows transparently and decisions are explained, not just announced.

👥 Collaboration & 🧭 Leadership Effectiveness
Teachers regularly plan, problem-solve, and learn together in protected time.
Collaboration is the default way of working, not an occasional event.
Leadership is visible, present, and supportive in the daily life of the school.
Leaders remove barriers so staff can do their best work.
🔥 Teacher Engagement & 💗 Belonging
Staff feel energized by their work and connected to the school's purpose.
Teachers go beyond the minimum because they care about the mission.
Every staff member feels seen, valued, and included regardless of role or background.
People feel they genuinely belong to this community.
🛡️ Psychological Safety & 💡 Innovation Culture
It is safe to raise concerns, disagree, or admit mistakes without fear of blame.
Mistakes are treated as learning opportunities rather than failures to punish.
New ideas are welcomed and people are encouraged to experiment and iterate.
The school adapts and improves rather than defaulting to "the way we've always done it."
📈 Professional Growth
Every educator has a visible, supported pathway for professional growth.
Feedback and professional learning are ongoing, meaningful, and tied to real practice.
Use your results to choose one or two highest-leverage dimensions, then turn them into a focused 90-day plan with the Leadership Action Planner. Re-assess each quarter to track culture over time on the Culture Analytics dashboard.
