This weeks posting is about the power dynamics at my school.  While I work at a private institution there is still a definite order of things.  We have a Director and Assistant Director, there is a parent committee, religious leaders and a governing board.  Most everyday changes can be instigate by speaking with the director, however bigger changes must be approved by the religious leaders and the governing board.  The parent committee is a good source of change since they are able to voice the needs of the teachers and the children.  This is a good system that seems to work well, like everything else there are times when it could be better and times when it is perfect.
