Expert Spotlight Anthony Muhammad What inspired you to develop books and professional development focused on transforming school culture? After spending nearly 20 years as a public-school educator, I decided to enter the world of consulting as a PLC advocate. As I worked with schools on the implementation of the PLC process, I found that some schools seemed more prepared to benefit from the guidance, and others were resistant to the ideas, no matter how profound the argument. This experience inspired me to start to research the impact of culture on school performance. I wanted to understand why some cultures were healthy and some were toxic and to provide practitioners with a sound, research-based set of strategies that anyone could use to transform their culture. What will educators find most valuable in your resources and professional development? I think educators will find my resources are logical, effective, and make good common sense. I also think
they will find my writing to be an effective balance of empirical evidence and practical ideas. Readers will be able to easily identify with the dilemmas presented in my literature and be able to find effective ways to solve those problems. What challenges will it help them overcome? The school culture resources will help educators in several ways. First, they will be able to understand the social dynamics and conditions that make
