IMPROVING THE ORGANISATIONAL CLIMATE OF SCHOOLS: AN EVALUATION OF AN INTERVENTION
Abstract
This paper reports the results of an evaluation of Human Achievement Skills training course conducted by the South Australian Education Department for 17 principals and deputies. The courses were based on a Carkhuff training model and were highly structured. Evaluation data were collected from three sources: interviews with participants three months after the completion of the courses; interviews with selected members of their staffs three months after the courses; and completion by staff of organisational climate questionnaires before the course and six months after the course. The evaluation showed significant changes in the behaviour of the principals and deputies in a number of areas of the H.A.S. course.
