ABSTRACT

All organizations, educational or otherwise, develop a culture that guides its members in their beliefs, values, attitudes, and behaviors when performing their tasks. Public Schools are educational organizations funded by local or national governments to offer general education opportunities to children. To manage a public school in the rapidly changing world requires a wellmanaged organizational culture. When stakeholders are committed, to observe the culture, they can easily understand and adapt to the changes hence the efficiency and effectiveness of the school are ensured. This paper shows how utilization of the Unfreeze, Change, and Freeze Change Management Model is deemed useful for school administrators to enhance the development of organizational culture even during the new Normal.
