N2  - A volume in Research and Theory in Educational Administration Series Editors: Wayne K. Hoy,  The Ohio State University and Michael DiPaola,  The College of William and Mary Improving Schools: Studies in Leadership and Culture is the seventh in a series on research and theory dedicated to advancing our understanding of schools through empirical study and theoretical analysis. This book is organized around two broad concepts-leadership and culture,  which have important implications for improving schools. The book begins with an analysis of the saliency of trust in the culture of schools. In the first chapter,  Patrick Forsyth's review of the consequences of school trust sets the tone for seeking and developing school cultures that enhance high academic performance of students. The investigation of school trust is traced over several decades at four research universities as scholars at each institution conceptualized,  refined,  and examined the consequences of school trust. It seems fair to conclude that a school culture that is anchored in values and norms of faculty trusting students and parents facilitates high academic achievement and positive outcomes.
