This study was developed as a means to examine the
assumptions arising from educational research on the use
of the school audit process In building effective
schools. These assumptions are evident in the work of
Fullan & Hargreaves, McLoughlln, Sackney and others. They
are encompassed in the following belief which is
represented schematically In Figure 1 : school improvement
requires significant change In school culture through
understanding, collaboration and ownership. In this
thesis these assumptions are tested against teacher
perceptions collected through a school audit process.
Figure 1 is then modified to reflect the findings of this
study.
