Purpose
The study explores characteristics of strong school cultures through principals' exploitation of additional resources within implementation of a national reform.
Design/methodology/approach
An interpretive approach was utilized to analyze qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with 35 Israeli high school principals who implemented a national reform in state and religious-state schools from all school districts.
Findings
The article presents four types of cracking cultures led by the principals: (1) a school values-based culture, such as respect; (2) a caring culture based on trust and a positive atmosphere; (3) a maintenance achievement-oriented culture; and (4) a creative culture that supports the teachers and takes risks in using resources beyond their intended purpose.
Originality/value
Exploring principals' exploitation of resources within a cracking culture may promote school improvement and innovation during national reform implementation.
