    While reading chapter 7 from Spring, and chapter 13 Beyond the Deficit Paradigm: An Ecological Orientation to Thriving Urban Schools, I was able to reflect and come up with many different questions, comments, and concerns about the reading material.

The rituals of the school often demonstrate to the students, staff and community what the school values as important. The principal is often the leader of these rituals and they reaffirm the values of the school through what they attend to (Deal & Peterson, 1994, p. 30).
