| Abstract: | This paper presents the findings of an action research that examines teachers' perception of the quality of dialogue and how
it impacts on the quality of relationships in a primary school in Singapore. The paper explores how school leaders can facilitate
dialogue and also discusses the issues and factors that affect teachers' perception of dialogue. Analysis of the data obtained
through a questionnaire and face-to-face interviews shows that the more favourable the perception of dialogue amongst teachers,
the more favourable is their perception of the quality of relationships in the school. The implication for school leaders
is that by developing a higher quality of dialogue, a better school climate is fostered.
