Kelton and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study was conducted to determine whether teachers' perceptions of climate within a school had a significant influence on the dimensions that support a community of professional learners. Teachers from ten middle schools in one central Florida school district completed a combined survey design which included questions pertaining to both climate characteristics and Professional Learning Community (PLC) dimensions. Foundational theories regarding both learning organizations and organizational climate were explored. Recent research on the development of professional learning communities and school climate was also examined. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed to investigate each research question; these statistics included Spearman rho correlations, multiple regressions, and chi-square analyses. Findings demonstrated that the null hypotheses were rejected or partially rejected for each research question. Significant relationships were found between teachers' perceptions of school climate and the dimensions of a PLC. Of the demographic variables, only years of teaching experience was found to be not significantly related to the school climate dimensions. The implications of these results validate the importance of building a climate of supportive principal behavior and committed and collegial teacher behaviors, as demonstrated by the significant relationship of these characteristics to schools exhibiting higher degrees of the dimensions that constitute a PLC. Educational stakeholders wishing to develop schools into job-embedded communities of learners with evidence of the five dimensions (shared leadership, shared vision, collective creativity, peer review and supportive conditions) must attend to developing the climate behaviors necessary for that to occur. As demonstrated by the research results, establishing an appropriate school climate that promotes professional interaction, support, and teacher commitment to students is a strong place to begin.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study examines indicators in 13 public elementary schools throughout the state of Delaware by using a mixed methods exploratory research design, in an effort to understand the dynamic relationship between school climate and the social, behavioral, and intellectual outcomes of 5 th grade students. Research indicators are consistently categorized and discussed in terms of the study's 4 dependent variables: student safety, student risk behavior, general school characteristics, and academic performance; and the study's 2 independent variables: dimensions of school climate and approaches to discipline. Findings suggest that within the sample population, more favorable school climate schools had low student to teacher ratios, favorable school climates as perceived by students, favorable student perceptions of peer relationships, and more favorable rates of student perceptions of school rule fairness and school safety. Statistically significant, direct correlations were observed between student responses to the statement "I feel safe in my school" and perceptions of rule fairness, students' liking of school, and student relationships. Further, unexpected positive correlations between gambling and student relations as well as between gambling and teacher/staff perceptions of school climate were observed. Positive, statistically significant correlations were observed between teacher education levels and students' perceptions of school climate, students' reports of liking school, students' perceptions of school safety, students' perceptions of student-teacher-home relations, teachers'/school staffs' perceptions of school climate, and homes' perceptions of school climate. The need to reveal the intricacies of establishing a constructive school climate and nurturing positive student outcomes remains. Once specifications of this interaction are better understood, policy initiatives can be enacted to better develop healthy environments in all schools. The greatest contributions of the study include a refined approach to understanding relationships between school climate and student outcomes, as well as to highlight the need for better approaches to collecting school climate data.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "School climate can be complex to measure and to change, but it is clear that it is a critical component of an effective school. One practice that has been shown to positively influence school climate is Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS is a framework of evidence-based practices and its power for initiating change has been shown to come from fidelity of implementation of its key components. Although there is a lot of research on PBIS implementation, not a lot is known about implementation in rural schools and the unique challenges that setting provides. This study measures baseline levels of PBIS components, assesses the perceptions of school climate, and analyzes how those two domains are associated in rural schools prior to formal PBIS training and implementation. In this quantitative study, the baseline data for a Randomized Controlled Trial with 40 rural schools across one state is utilized as the sample data. The Schoolwide Evaluation Tool (SET) is used to measure fidelity of PBIS implementation at each school and the Maryland Safe and Supportive Schools (MDS3) Climate Survey provides the perspectives of students, parents, and staff on school climate. Information on the relationship between these variables in the rural setting will contribute important information to researchers and implementers in rural schools. The analysis found that although there is generally a positive perspective on school climate in these rural schools, a lack of fidelity in PBIS implementation is evident, and is associated with climate perceptions. The only PBIS component implemented to fidelity across the schools was a strong discipline system, yet was associated with lower order and discipline. These results suggest that the punishment-heavy approaches that schools are utilizing are not producing the desired outcomes without the foundational practices of teaching and acknowledging expected behavior. In fact, clearly teaching expectations was significantly associated with improved climate perspectives of staff and parents, and having a system for acknowledging those expectations was significantly associated with improved climate perspectives of students. I recommend that future researchers and implementers build on these findings and conclusions to better understand how to implement PBIS in rural schools. Additional research that applies similar methodologies to other demographic groups and more urban settings is needed for further comparison. Additional time points and longitudinal data will also provide more insights to the causes and impacts of PBIS on school climate in small and remote schools."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

Book Synopsis Teacher Perceptions of the Use of School-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports at Reducing the Presence of Bullying in Middle Schools by : Kristine Marie Harper

This book was released on 2015 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each day students throughout the world are exposed to bullying in many different ways and on many different occasions. Bullying has received such a great amount of attention through the media, that it leaves parents and community members with the belief that bullying has become a bigger problem today than it ever has before (Austin, Reynolds, & Barnes, 2012; Carrera, DePalma, & Lameiras, 2011; Packman, Lepkowski, Overton, & Smaby, 2005; Rigby & Smith, 2011). Nearly every state in the nation has passed laws regarding bullying and increasing the responsibility of schools and districts to implement programs to prevent and/or address bullying on their campuses (U.S. Department of Education, 2011). Many schools and districts have not only developed policies to place them in compliance with the passed legislation, but they have begun to implement programs, such as School-Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS), as a method to help improve the overall school environment (Pugh & Chitiyo, 2012; Reinke, Herman, & Stormont, 2012; Simonsen & Sugai, 2013). While it has shown to help improve the overall school climate, researchers suggest that this may also be utilized to reduce the presence of bullying in schools (Good, McIntosh, & Gietz, 2011; Packman et al., 2005; Pugh & Chitiyo, 2012). This study examined the perceptions of middle school teachers concerning the use of SWPBIS in their schools, along with their perceptions of its effectiveness at reducing the presence of negative student behaviors, such as bullying. Research was conducted using quantitative data to determine teacher perceptions of the questions being presented in this study. While the outcomes to nearly all of the research questions reported very little significance, these results showed that teachers' perceived that SWPBIS is effective at reducing the presence of negative student behaviors within the school when it has been implemented with fidelity. --Page ii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the difference in the levels of the variables related to the school climate factors among the teachers teaching social science courses, the teachers teaching natural science courses, and the teachers teaching art, music and physical education. As a result of the analyzes, all the teachers reported open climate in relation to the factors of team commitment, organizational clarity and standards, intimacy and support, autonomy, member conflict, medium climate in relation to the factors of risk and in reward. Additionally, the teachers teaching art, music and physical education reported higher open school climate than others, man than women, single teachers than married ones, the teachers with more degree of education than the ones with a lower degree of education, older teachers than younger ones, and the teachers with less seniority than the ones with more seniority. Finally, some ideas were suggested about what should be done in helping teachers to work in a more desirable open school climate. (Contains 1 figure and 6 tables.).

Download or read book The Perceptions of School Climate, School Safety, and School Violence and Their Effects on Teacher Commitment written by Laura A. Brooks and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative research study was to study the perceptions of the five dimensions of school climate, the effect school safety and violence had on the teachers' perceptions of school climate, and the role school climate played on the teachers' commitment to their professional responsibilities. This research study was conducted at one high school in south central Pennsylvania and utilized the California School Climate Survey, published by WestEd, an open-ended question, and one-on-one interviews conducted by the researcher. The survey participation rate among the teachers was 77%, the open-ended question was answered by 67% of the participating teachers, and 15% of the participating teachers completed one-on-one interviews. School climate factors such as safety, relationships, teaching and learning, the institutional environment, and the school improvement process were studied in order to identify areas within the school that bolstered morale and improved the climate as well as areas that decreased the climate and need improvement. Results from the three methods of data collection indicated that a majority of teachers felt safe at this school, 56% of the participants stated that safety related issues did not affect their perceptions of school climate, and school safety either increased commitment or did not affect it at all. In addition, the teachers maintained great working relationships with one another, which increased commitment. Most teachers wanted academic success for all students, but not all teachers believed academic success to be possible. The teachers' commitment to teaching increased as a result of the need for academic improvement. The new school building and materials aided student learning, which increased commitment; and the school improvement initiatives were overwhelming, which decreased teacher commitment.
