Appreciating Trust: Unleashing a Culture of Learning

Abstract

At their best, schools function as professional learning communities, but a lack of trust often undermines this collective aspiration. Without trust, energy is diverted away from the learning task as people watch their backs or plot revenge. To rebuild trust, attention must be paid to many factors. Appreciative Inquiry (AI) works with those factors by getting people to focus on their best experiences, core values and heartfelt wishes. By following the trail of AI through one school system and community in northwest Ohio, this article explores how appreciating trust in organizations unleashes a culture of learning.
