In this final project, you will analyze the case study "Creating a Culture of Empowerment and Accountability at St. Martin de Porres High School" and develop an evaluative response paper. The case is an account of how St. Martin de Porres High School (SMdP) was transformed from a school plagued with student failure and high teacher turnover into a true learning organization carrying out its mission of serving "young people of limited options." Your response paper will assess the strengths and weaknesses of the organization and propose solutions and strategies for transforming the organizational culture.
