So how does one measure culture? Contrary to the prevailing beliefs of some, culture can be quantified. The Center for Educational Effectiveness (CEE) implements staff culture surveys and measures what we refer to as the “I vs. They” gap. This gap represents the difference in what a person believes about themselves (positive for most individual teachers) and what they perceive about their colleagues’ behavior (less positive). We judge ourselves by our intent and others by our perceptions of their behavior.
