Abstract
The objective of this study was to report the evaluator's perceived influence of culture on teacher remediation. Qualitative insight is provided through reports of what teacher remediation looks like in schools, what cultural influences are revealed, and what outcomes might be attributed to school culture. Quantitative data is provided in the form of a school culture survey that provides information about values, beliefs, and behaviors related to relationships in schools. Administrators need more training and support in providing formative feedback to teachers to lead improvement in instruction (Bridges, 1984). Remediation appears to be a last attempt in bringing extreme situations to closure as opposed to it being a collaborative, feedback-driven mechanism for improvement. Increased opportunities for teacher collaboration are crucial in improving the quality of instruction, removing the silos of excellence that currently exist in our schools.
