Book excerpt: School administrators face several challenges ranging from opposing stakeholders, to frequent deadlines, to the pressures of No Child Left Behind. The principals of high poverty, low-funded schools have additional obstacles hindering them from student achievement. The purpose of this study was to determine predictive relationships between leadership style and student achievement in high poverty, low-funded schools. Data on leadership style was collected from 103 elementary principals located in high poverty, low-funded schools in Missouri during the spring of 2007. The data analysis for the study included Pearson product movement correlations, backward multiple linear regression analysis, and open-coding. The results of the study found that out of all leadership styles, active management-by-exception had a significant negative correlation with overall, communication arts, and math student achievement. It was also a predictive variable in low student performance. Open-coding identified goal setting, personal attention, and accountability as supporting themes.

Book Synopsis Best Leadership Practices for High-poverty Schools by : Linda L. Lyman
Download or read book Best Leadership Practices for High-poverty Schools written by Linda L. Lyman and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2004 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best Leadership Practices for High-Poverty Schools presents both the practice and theory of best leadership practices in high-poverty schools. Authors Linda Lyman and Christine Villani take a unique approach by inviting readers into two high-poverty elementary schools where they will experience, through in-depth case studies, how two extraordinary principals model and practice their beliefs in the ability and worth of all children. Lyman and Villani demonstrate that a successful learning community for children of low-income families is based on the beliefs and attitudes of the school leader and the entire school community. Preparation programs for school principals typically do not provide for study of the complexity of poverty or the leadership practices that contribute to successful learning and achievement for children in high-poverty schools. The concluding questions that the authors pose provide a guide to developing best leadership practices that make a difference to the learning, achievement, and lives of children who live in poverty.This book offers: an insightful overview of research about leadership strategies and beliefs in high-poverty schools, causes and remedies for the achievement gap, evidence of continuing racial and ethnic prejudice, the widespread deficit thinking that limits learning. The authors challenge leaders, teachers, staff members, and others to examine their own attitudes and beliefs and then to commit to creating successful learning communities for all children from low-income families. This book is written as a resource for aspiring and practicing principals, or anyone interested in improving educational opportunities for children from families living in poverty.
Book Synopsis Class and Schools by : Richard Rothstein
Download or read book Class and Schools written by Richard Rothstein and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary public policy assumes that the achievement gap between black and white students could be closed if only schools would do a better job. According to Richard Rothstein, "Closing the gaps between lower-class and middle-class children requires social and economic reform as well as school improvement. Unfortunately, the trend is to shift most of the burden to schools, as if they alone can eradicate poverty and inequality." In this book, Rothstein points the way toward social and economic reforms that would give all children a more equal chance to succeed in school. This book features: a summary of numerous studies linking school achievement to health care quality, nutrition, childrearing styles, housing stability, parental economic security, and more ; aA look at erroneous and misleading data that underlie commonplace claims that some schools "beat the demographic odds and therefore any school can close the achievement gap if only it adopted proper practices." ; and an analysis of how the over-emphasis of standardized tests in federal law obscures the true achievement gap and makes narrowing it more difficult.

This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Pedagogy - The Teacher, Educational Leadership, , language: English, abstract: The Leadership styles adopt by school principal plays an important role in raising the students' academic achievement in Nigeria. This study investigates whether the principal’s leadership styles influence student achievement in rural secondary schools in Nigeria. Firstly, the study determines the overall type of leadership style adopted by upper and lower rural secondary schools in Nigeria. Secondly, it establishes the principal leadership style behavior in both upper and lower secondary schools. Finally, the study intends to investigate the influence of the Nigerian principal leadership style on student achievement in upper and rural secondary schools. The research design used is a quantitative descriptive sectional survey research design. The theoretical or educational gap, locational gap, and the approach gap were identified. In the research process, the researcher utilized two survey questionnaires, "Leadership Orientation Survey" from Bolman and Terrence E. Deal which has three sections, leadership styles, leaders' behavior, and overall rating respectively. The second survey contains one section “principal leadership survey”. Forty-six teachers in upper and forty in lower rural secondary schools were asked, but only 20 in upper and 20 in lower responded during the research. Frequency, percentage, and mean were used.
Book Synopsis Leadership from the Ground Up by : Michele A. Acker-Hocevar
Download or read book Leadership from the Ground Up written by Michele A. Acker-Hocevar and published by IAP. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book chronicles the journey of seven schools serving students of poverty, English Language Learners (ELLs), and students of color, which were able to sustain school improvement for a decade on either state and/or national criteria that measure student performance outcomes. The book shares stories of these seven schools and demonstrates that it takes an entire school working together with their communities, adding to the social and cultural capital of their students and families, to create and nurture what we call a Learning Partnership for sustainable school improvement. The answers for how these schools sustained school improvement and are effective schools is evident from their school student metrics that validate the school’s ability to meet and sustain external mandates of high performance over time. The seven individual case stories illustrate that what matters most is what happens in the school itself. It is the internal culture of caring and respecting each other and working from an additive perspective of valuing students for their unique gifts and abilities, rather than exclusively focusing on increasing test scores that makes these school stories unique. This is not about heroic leadership but leadership spread out and shared among professionals working together to achieve common goals around shared values and beliefs. This book is about using resources in ways that value human capital as the greatest asset in the school to ensure that educators feel a sense of commitment, connection, and passion for their work together with students, their families, and their communities that enable them to excel together. We offer readers seven cases that demonstrate there is no cookie cutter approach to having an effective school. Rather, there is a theory-in-practice that grounds the Learning Partnership depicted as a tree within a sustainable school improvement culture. This sustainable culture connects shared leadership and accountability, resourcefulness, a humanistic philosophy, additive schooling and results in an organization synergy that sustains organizational and collective efficacy for achieving results in these schools that other educators in schools with similar demographics are often unable to sustain or attain.
Book Synopsis The Impact of Leadership Style on Student Achievement by : Sherry H. Dorathy
Download or read book The Impact of Leadership Style on Student Achievement written by Sherry H. Dorathy and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 143 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis Turning High-Poverty Schools into High-Performing Schools by : William H. Parrett
Download or read book Turning High-Poverty Schools into High-Performing Schools written by William H. Parrett and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools across the United States and Canada are disrupting the adverse effects of poverty and supporting students in ways that enable them to succeed in school and in life. In this second edition, Parrett and Budge show you how your school can achieve similar results. Expanding on their original framework's still-critical concepts of actions and school culture, they incorporate new insights for addressing equity, trauma, and social-emotional learning. These fresh perspectives combine with lessons learned from 12 additional high-poverty, high-performing schools to form the updated and enhanced Framework for Collective Action. Emphasizing students' social, emotional, and academic learning as the hub for all action in high-performing, high-poverty schools, the authors describe how educators can work within the expanded Framework to address the needs of all students, but particularly those who live in poverty. Equipped with the Framework and a plethora of tools to build collective efficacy (self-assessments, high-leverage questions, action advice, and more), school and district leaders—as well as teachers, teacher leaders, instructional coaches, and other staff—can close persistent opportunity gaps and reverse longstanding patterns of low achievement.
Book Synopsis A Case Study of Leadership Behaviors in a High Poverty Successful School by : Margaret Janelle Andrus
Download or read book A Case Study of Leadership Behaviors in a High Poverty Successful School written by Margaret Janelle Andrus and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years, public attention has been more focused on school accountability in the United States. There is widespread concern about the disparity in educational opportunities among children from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. With these ever-changing educational reforms, the significance of effective school leadership has become a focal point of many districts. As schools are increasing in their percentages of students receiving free or reduced meals, administrators are feeling the pressure to make substantive changes. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate the phenomena between leadership behavior styles and student achievement in a high poverty, high achieving school. Providing high quality educational opportunities throughout the school requires the right combination of leadership, environment, and community to allow teaching and learning to occur. Qualitative data included in this study was gathered through focus groups, questionnaires, interviews with the principal, direct observations, and school documents. Analysis of the data led to the researcher identifying themes that include a clear understanding of culture, effective communication, shared decision making, collaboration, initiating change, and assessment. Understanding these elements will help a leader to implement effective change. Through the creation of a common vision and mission, the organization will be able to move forward.
Book Synopsis Successful Leadership in High Poverty, Urban Schools. Implications from UCEA by : Stephen Jacobson
Download or read book Successful Leadership in High Poverty, Urban Schools. Implications from UCEA written by Stephen Jacobson and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that leadership matters in improving student achievement. In fact, among school-related factors over which policy makers have some control, effective leadership practices rank second only to the quality of teaching in influencing student learning (Leithwood, Louis, Anderson & Wahlstrom, 2004). Quality leadership is particularly important in schools serving youngsters living in high poverty urban schools (Scheerens & Bosker, 1997). Coupled with the fact that high quality leaders are perceived to be in relatively short supply in urban school systems (Jacobson, 2005), individuals need to incorporate what they know about the passion, commitments and practices of successful leaders into principal preparation and district support. Through joint effort and informed action, preparation programs and districts can improve the quality and effectiveness of school leaders for the schools (and students) who need effective leadership most.

Book Synopsis Principal Transformational Leadership and Student Academic Outcomes by : Fernando Reyes (Ed. D.)
Download or read book Principal Transformational Leadership and Student Academic Outcomes written by Fernando Reyes (Ed. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to precisely analyze the relationship between principal leadership and student achievement. Specifically, this study investigated whether or not different leadership styles led to different student academic outcomes. This study employed quantitative analysis to analyze the relationship between transformational leadership and student academic performance in reading and math state assessments in a large metropolitan area of South Texas. Furthermore, the researcher compared leadership styles with regard to the school size and grade levels that the principals serve. This researcher used quantitative methods design to collect quantitative survey data from teachers and principals to measure perceived leadership style. The study employed a comparison group analysis used to compare the leadership styles groups as a function of academically high-performing and low-performing schools. In the first phase of the study, the MLQ 5X survey data were collected from teachers and principals in two school districts located in the Rio Grande Valley region of Texas. All schools within the two districts were selected to participate if the school had the same principal for the last three school years. Hence, the study determined if the practices of transformational, transactional, or passive leadership were a corollary of student achievement on the 2022 accountability report. Data used to make these determinations were publicly available through the Texas Education Agency website through the school report card link. Findings showed that the transformational leadership of a leader, as measured from the perspective of teachers to be positively correlated and statistically significant to student reading outcomes on state exams. With this understanding, the research showed that all four pillars of transformational leadership positively correlated to student reading outcomes. Only idealized influence was considered statistically significant to student academic outcomes in reading. Findings also indicated that teachers perceived transformational leadership style was not influenced by the school grade level that a principal served. However, high school principals in this study were perceived to be the most transformational in all four pillars of transformational leadership. Contrasting with transformational leadership was the passive-avoidant leadership style perceived by teachers. The data showed that participants perceived elementary principals as the most passive-avoidant leaders. Findings indicated that as teacher-rated passive-avoidant leadership declines, a statistically significant increase in student academic outcomes for mathematics and reading occurs. Finally, implications for principal preparation programs, practicing principals, principal professional development, and principal supervisors are offered and research suggestions to expound on this study and transformational leadership theory appear in Chapter 5
