  2. A collection of definable behaviors and practices that are commonly exhibited by staff, faculty, and students within an educational institution.

To what degree are these behaviors/practices prevalent across the organization? Educational Culture

  11. Consistent definitions/glossaries Working with local databases Varied institutional practices Lack of infrastructure and formal processes to collect data on a regular basis Metric/Measurement Issues

  12. All our schools are now going through major curriculum/program reviews and revisions. No school has questioned the validity of the broad concepts embodied within the Gateway philosophy of restructured curriculum, educational methodologies, student centered outreach, instructional technologies, and assessment; all representative of a significant educational culture change. Rather, the questions raised are ones of how to enhance those concepts…. We take this to be a clear indication that institutionalization of the fundamental premises on which the Gateway educational revolution has been based is taking place and one indication of the program's success. Some Changes Cannot be Measured!
