Environmental Factors
Overview:
Environmental factors are often the starting point for analysis because they pose the greatest barriers to exemplary performance. When the environmental supports are strong, individuals are better able to do what is expected of them. We look to environmental causes first because, in the words of Geary Rummler and Alan Brache, “If you pit a good performer against a bad system, the system will win almost every time” (Rummler & Brache, 1995, p. 13).
Review the Grand City scenario. Identify non-traditional leaders in Grand City and describe the different ways people can be leaders (designated leaders vs. emergent leaders—especially in initiating and supporting social change). By Day 3 Post an explanation of how both designated leaders and emergent leaders can lead the school towards improvement. Be sure to refer to Marzano’s five school-level factors in your explanation.
APA style for references and in-text citation
Answers with the course’s readings and at least wo scholarly journal articles. The article’s purpose is to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. Sources ProQuest and EBSCOhost are great sites to find resources. Also, write in a concise and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. Additionally, the quality of your writing dictates grading criteria. On the other hand, if you use direct quotes from books or articles, place the words you copied (use parenthesis) and cite them in-line. Also, only use sources within the five-year range.
Additional Guidelines
The quotes should be complete sentences (no more, less) and should be incorporate-d in your essay to illustrate your ideas. Please, cite your sources in a clickable reference list at the end. Also, do not copy without providing proper attribution (quotation marks and in-line citations). Also, write an essay format, not in bullet form, numbering, or another list format. It would be best if you use your own words. Lastly, proofread your work and run it through Grammarly for thorough confirmation.
