Book excerpt: This study utilized the descriptive and quantitative approaches to examine elementary school principals' leadership style and school climate in an urban school district. Research supports the relationship of leadership styles, school climate and student achievement does exist and this study identified and explored how it exists between the school principals' leadership style and school climate. Participants consisted of elementary principals and teachers in an urban school district within the southeastern region of the United States. The purpose of this study was to determine the existence of a relationship between elementary school principals' leadership styles and school climate in an urban school district. Survey instruments were the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ) Form XII Self and the Organizational Climate Description Questionnaire for elementary schools (OCDQ-RE). Demographic information was gathered from the principals and teachers that were subjects of this research (Table 3 and Appendix C). The following research question was posed: Does a relationship exist between the elementary school principals' leadership style and school climate in an urban school district? Descriptive statistics summarized the data characteristics of the independent variable (principal leadership style) and dependent variable (school climate). The data was analyzed using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. A Positive linear relationship in climate was found for three different groups. These three groups had a statistically significant correlations coefficient and p-values between the LBDQ-Form XII Self and OCDQ-RE subscales. The school principals must be able to access and evaluate the impact they may have on the climate of the school. This study proposed strategies school principals from the participating school district can use to create a more open school climate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: The primary focus of this study is to explore the perceptions of assistant principals as to how their principals' leadership styles impact school climate. A school's climate plays a vital role in student achievement and principals are the most important factor in setting a setting a school's climate. Therefore, principals' leadership behaviors warrant investigating. This qualitative study identified principal leadership styles through the perceptions of their assistant principals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the effect of psychological, social and demographic variables on student achievement and summarizes the current research findings in the field. It addresses the need for inclusive and interpretive studies in the field in order to interpret student achievement literature and suggests new pathways for further studies. Appropriately, a meta-analysis approach is used by the contributors to show the big picture to the researchers by analyzing and combining the findings from different independent studies. In particular, the authors compile various studies examining the relationship between student achievement and 21 psychological, social and demographic variables separately. The philosophy behind this book is to direct future research and practices rather than addressing the limits of current studies.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a principal's philosophy of leadership, school climate, and student achievement at two high schools. This study utilized a leadership style inventory, school climate assessment inventory, and interviews with principals and teachers. Teachers and principals volunteered to participate in this study. Findings from this study suggest that principals who possess a philosophy of servant leadership and utilize its practices have a positive impact on school climate and student achievement. Data derived from a school climate assessment, leadership inventory, and teacher and principal interviews reflected a positive relationship between the servant style of leadership and a school's climate and student achievement as measured by the PSSA. Specific components of leadership were cited as most effective in this study. Teacher perceptions of effective leadership practices included the ability to be approachable, fair, and consistent. Principals cited the ability to be open and have honest communication. Further, the principals found it was essential to support the needs of teachers. The majority of teachers and principals believed that teachers had the greatest impact on student achievement. The principals and teachers surveyed reported that student achievement is most positively impacted when teachers maintain positive relationships with students and set high expectations.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if there is a relationship between transformational principal leadership style, a safe school climate, and school safety (specifically, the number of reported fights and reported bullying incidents) in Broward County, Florida's middle schools. This study also investigated if a relationship exists between transformational leadership and a safe school climate, transformational leadership, and the number of bullying incidents and student fights, and a safe school climate and the number of bullying incidents and student fights. The study surveyed 12 middle schools located in a large, urban district in south Florida. Principal leadership style was determined from the MLQ-5X, school safety climate was determined from the school district's Annual Customer Survey, and the reported number of fights and bullying incidents recorded in the school districts Discipline Management System were collected via records request for each participating middle school and tallied. Pearson correlations were conducted to examine the bivariate association between the leadership dimensions, a safe school climate, and school violence. Separate multiple linear regression models were used to examine the following relationships: leadership style and the number of reported fights and reported bullying incidents; leadership style and a safe school climate; and a safe school climate and the number of reported fights and reported bullying incidents. The findings suggested that there were no statistically significant correlations between leadership style (transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire), and bullying or fighting, and no statistically significant correlation between principal leadership style and middle school climate. There was a statistically significant correlation found between school climate and the number of student fights. The significance of this finding is important because it illustrates the adverse impact fighting has on student safety, which, in turn, adversely affects the school climate. Therefore, it is up to the school leader to create a climate where everyone feels safe can focus on student achievement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faced with criticisms of failing to adequately educate students, much research on educational reform in the school systems alludes to the role of principals in the educational process. Specifically, the principals have been identified as the most accountable key individuals responsible for creating conducive school climate. This book, therefore, highlights the relationship between high school teachers' perception of principal leadership style (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire MLQ) and school climate (School Level Environment Questionnaire SLEQ) based on the theoretical framework derived from Theory of Leadership Style. Studying the perceptions of high school teachers in 17 urban secondary schools in Penang, Malaysia, the authors found that principals who are transformational leaders have an effect on school climate whereas transactional leaders only have an effect on one of the six dimensions of school climate. The in-depth analysis offers school boards and superintendents some insight into the style of principal leadership that may best fit the specific school climate needs in their respective school districts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alarmed by mounting evidence of a national shortage of qualified and willing principals, the authors surveyed or interviewed over 200 school principals from across the country to find out why so many are leaving the profession and how those who stay manage their work. They discovered that regardless of a principal's race, gender, school level, geographic region, or tenure, there was a remarkable consistency in the challenges identified and suggestions given for revamping the role of the American principal. Featuring stories shared by practicing principals, this timely volume: offers fresh insights on ways to both attract and retain good principals; shows how successful principals reconcile their expectations and hopes with the realities and disappointments encountered in their work; examines issues common to all principals, such as time management, staff evaluations, keeping the focus on instruction, community expectations, and pursuing a balanced life; presents strategies that principals have used to make their role more effective and more attractive; and provides practical ideas for coping with the present and envisioning the future, including alternative principal models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the relationship between leadership characteristics and school climate. Through the online administration of two instruments, The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) and The School-Level Environment Questionnaire (SLEQ), teacher and principal perceptions of leadership characteristics in five categories and school climate in eight categories, were collected and analyzed. The SLEQ included two forms, actual environment and preferred environment. Leadership skills, characteristics, and styles define the leader in a school building. The role of the school leader has become more complex, and expectations for leaders to create environments that support students, provide continuous learning for teachers, foster innovation, and meet achievement goals has become standard practice. School climate encompasses all of these expectations. Although the research on leadership and its characteristics is extensive, this study examined the research in the context of the needs of schools' today, identified how leadership influences school climate, and predicted the discrete leadership characteristics that support the growth of positive school climate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers almost unequivocally agree that school leadership matters because school leaders occupy formal positions within highly bureaucratic systems and have a vast influence on the organization of schools. Because of the elusive and complex nature of leadership, however, it has been challenging to identify how principals become effective and through which mechanisms they impact teaching and learning. Since 1980, researchers have conceptualized 14 leadership models. One of those models is instructional leadership, which is generally defined as the school leader’s ability to collectively and strategically utilize her or his influence to improve the core technology of schools—teaching and learning. There is an additional consensus among researchers that the effects of instructional leadership on student achievement are indirect and that various other mediating factors exist. Therefore, within educational research there remains a desire to develop and test theoretical frameworks to decipher the black box of instructional leadership. This study was designed to address this mission by developing a complex theoretical model to examine how instructional leadership influences instructional quality, which is directly associated with student achievement. More specifically, this study investigated the interrelations between instructional leadership, teachers’ perception of school climate, teacher collaboration, and instructional support by using a large-scale, complex survey data known as the Teacher and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018. Multi-level structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze data from a nationally representative sample of 164 principals and 2548 teachers who instruct in grades seven through nine. The study results show that teachers’ perception of school climate was a statistically significant predictor of school climate and that school climate was positively and significantly associated with instructional support. However, instructional leadership was associated positively and significantly only with the slope between school climate and teacher collaboration. The direct influence of instructional leadership was not statistically significant on any of the teacher level factors. Although this study did not observe any significant direct effects of instructional leadership, the results provided reliable insights for policymakers and practitioners looking to identify more targeted policies for facilitating school improvement efforts. This study’s results were an answer to the call for high-quality research designs using large-scale, nationally representative datasets and advanced statistical analysis to understand the sophisticated inner-workings of schools as social organizations. School leaders who want to improve the quality of instruction in their schools should focus on cultivating school climate and facilitating teacher collaboration because these factors are positively associated with the instructional support that teachers provide to their students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative case study research was to investigate the existing degree of relationship between leadership styles and student achievement for principals in small, rural, southeast districts in Arizona. Student achievement was measured by fifth grade AIMS Mathematic scores over a two year period. Leadership style of the principals was measured by the MLQ-5X survey completed by eight participants (principals) and 102 raters (teachers). Interviews were conducted with a subset of the principals to gather more information in relation to their leadership style. Each leadership attribute was examined in relation to the student achievement on AIMS mathematics test for quantitative data analysis. The qualitative data analysis was performed with a word and phrase frequency counter to identify specific themes across the leadership style. Based on the findings of this study it is recommended that principals use the MLQ survey each school year to modify or enhance their leadership style by focusing professional development on strengthening leadership styles to establish commonality within district leadership to enhance student achievement. To expand on the results of this study, future research is recommended to include student SES, compare school districts to identify trends in school test scores to determine if district leadership impacts building leadership that has an indirect impact on student achievement, and include stakeholders in the MLQ survey to gain feedback.
