This book was released on 2015 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The school principal is viewed as one of the most influential individuals on a school campus (Cohen, McCabe, Michelli, & Pickeral, 2009; Edmonds, 1979; Leech & Fulton, 2008). With this influence, the principal plays a great role in facilitating the climate of the school; which in turn, can have a significant impact on student achievement (MacNeil, Prater, & Busch, 2009). The purpose of this study was to explore high school teachers' perceptions about leadership practices of their principals, as well as to gain an understanding of the teachers' perceptions of school climate in a large urban district in the Western United States. Data was collected with the use of two survey instruments, the Leadership Practices Inventory, which measures the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership, and the Organizational Climate Description Questionnaire revised for secondary schools, which measures five dimensions of high school climate. Participating teachers were asked five demographic questions including: age, gender, number of years teaching, number of years teaching with current principal, and level of education. The schools with participating teachers were categorized by three other variables: total response rates, School Performance Framework scores, and the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced price lunch. Across nine high schools, 334 usable surveys were collected. Pearson correlations were used to find relationships among variables within the survey instruments, while MANOVA calculations with appropriate ANOVA post hoc were used to find differences in demographic variables. It was found that engaged teacher behavior coupled with principals who model expectations and give authentic, goal aligned encouragement related to high levels of positive school climate. Additionally, data suggested schools whose teachers perceived their principal in a negative manner related to low levels of school climate regardless of the socioeconomic make-up of the student body.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher demographics of gender, age, years as a teacher, years at current school, and level of school (elementary, middle, high) were examined in relation to perceived leadership style and school status. Multiple regression analysis found that only years at current school that was significant in how they perceived their principal's transformational or passive avoidant leadership style. No demographic variables were significant for transactional style or school status. Overall, teachers were satisfied with the principal's leadership style and effectiveness. Teachers most often cited school culture as having an influence on student achievement in both improving and non-improving schools. Limitations of the study included self-reported teacher perceptions of principal leadership style from 16 schools in one school district which limits generalizability; no controls for teacher classroom performance and no verification of respondents actually observing principal behaviors; time of year survey was given; and, the use of one instrument to measure leadership style may not reflect the actual leadership style of the principal.
Book Synopsis An Analysis of the Relationship of Perceived Principal Instructional Leadership Behaviors and Student Academic Achievement by : Kerry Andrew Schindler

This book was released on 2012 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of the present study was to determine if a relationship existed between perceived instructional leadership behaviors of high school principals and student academic achievement. A total of 124 principals and 410 teachers representing 75 high school campuses completed the School Leadership Behaviors Survey (SLBS), an instrument derived from 21 principal instructional leadership behaviors purported to relate to student achievement (Waters et al., 2003). Correlation analyses were used to analyze relationships between principals' and teachers' perceptions of the 21 instructional leadership behaviors and student achievement as indicated by campus average achievement scale scores in mathematics, social studies, science, reading, and English language arts. In addition, correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between the congruence of principals' and teachers' perceptions and student achievement. The study revealed that principals' and teachers' perceptions of instructional leadership behaviors, and congruence between perceptions, were not related to student achievement (average effect size). However, when each of the 21 instructional leadership behaviors was examined individually, statistically significant relationships were found. Positive correlations were found between student achievement and 3 of the 21 instructional leadership behaviors: (a) flexibility, (b) input, and (c) outreach as self-perceived by principals. In addition, principals' perceptions on one instructional leadership behavior (discipline) produced a negative correlation with student achievement. Teachers' perceptions of the principals' instructional leadership behaviors positively correlated to student achievement on 2 of the 21 instructional leadership behaviors: (a) ideals/beliefs and (b) order. When differences in principals' and teachers' perceptions were examined, 12 of the 21 instructional leadership behaviors produced a negative correlation to student achievement: (a) communication, (b) contingent rewards, (c) culture, (d) discipline, (e) flexibility, (f) focus, (g) ideals/beliefs, (h) input, (i) optimizer, (j) order, (k) resources, and (l) situational awareness. These results indicated that, as principals' and teachers' perceptions of the instructional leadership behaviors were closer together (high congruency), student achievement increased. The results of the study confirmed that certain instructional leadership behaviors of the principals related to student achievement. The findings concerning the congruence between principals' and teachers' perceptions have encouraging potential in explaining student achievement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study examined principal and teacher perceptions of leadership behavior which influenced the achievement of students, particularly those living in poverty. The students attended a high achieving elementary school where a majority were eligible for free and reduced lunch. This study also examined the principal responsibilities which the principal and teachers in this elementary school perceived to decline as a result of changes designed to increase student achievement. The study took place in a school district in Central Pennsylvania. The participants were a school principal and 10 teachers serving in a Title I distinguished high achieving, high poverty, elementary school. A questionnaire adapted and based on the findings of Marzano; Waters; and McNulty (2005), relating to principal leadership responsibilities linked to student achievement, and an interview were used in this study. These were administered to the principal and teachers in the school district. Analysis of the data suggested that use of the 7 responsibilities associated with second-order change were implemented by the principal in the participating district. Four of these, Monitoring and Evaluating; Optimizer; Intellectual Stimulation; and Ideals/Beliefs, were evidenced to a greater degree than others. Four responsibilities were seen to decline; these responsibilities were: Culture; Communication; Order; and Input. Some other responsibilities, although not targeted in the study, surfaced as strong characteristics or actions of the principal. These responsibilities were Affirmation, Focus, Situational Awareness, and Visibility.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research study was to determine whether a relationship exists between student achievement, as measured by school Quality of Distribution Index score, and school leadership based on staff perceptions of school leadership, as measured by the Survey of Supervisory Behavior. The leadership of seven schools was assessed by staff members in five different sub scales of leadership domains: human relations, trust/decision making, instructional leadership, control, and conflict. The seven schools sampled were comprised of four rural or county schools and three city schools. The subjects for this study were principals of standalone schools containing grades five, six, seven, and eight or some combination of the four grade levels. All 60 respondents to this study were teachers from a rural southern state. Of the respondents, 48.33% held a Bachelors degree, 71.66% had been at their schools six years or more, 81.66% had taught for six or more years, 95.00% were white, and 91.66% of participants were found to be teaching in their subject area. The survey instrument was comprised of five domains. All five domains and the instrument were correlated with QDI to determine whether relationships exist. None of the five domains were found to be statically significant in relation to QDI. Additionally, the Survey of Supervisory Behavior Instrument was not found to be statistically significant in relation to QDI.

McGuire and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Purpose. The purpose of this investigation of teacher's perceptions of principal's leadership behavior and student achievement (reading) was to explore those factors of principal's leader behaviors that differentiate low achieving and high achieving schools as perceived by teachers. Sample. Two hundred sixty-one teachers in seven selected northeast Ohio school district and seventeen buildings participated in this study. Teachers in this study had at least three years of experience and one or more years of supervision from the principals whose leadership behavior they described. Instrument. The revised Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire Form XII was used. This instrument measured only four subscales, consideration Initiating Structure, Persuasion and Superior Orientation. This instrument was used to explore answer to five research questions. Findings. The study results did not support the premise that the leader behavior task structure differentiated effective from ineffective schools. Teachers in both groups of schools perceived that principals exhibited this characteristic. However, the results revealed that the leader behavior, consideration, did differ at the .05 level of significance as perceived by teachers between principals in high and low achieving schools. The data also showed that discrepancy existed between principals self perception and teacher perceptions of the leader behavior, superior orientation at the .05 level of significance. The data also revealed that the level of staff involvement, such as awareness, implementation, and curricular focus was more evident in low achieving than in high achieving schools. Conclusion. The investigation concluded that there is substantial need for further exploration of the leadership variable. An important recommendation is that additional research be initiated using the LBDQ and other research instruments as a strategy to consistently operationalize the leadership characteristics of Effective Schools Movement.
Book Synopsis The Effects of Principal Leadership on Teacher Morale and Student Achievement by : Lawrence A. Hindt

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers comprise the greatest professional population of a school; they have the most contact with students; and they have perhaps the greatest influence on school climate. For this reason, teacher morale is a topic of great concern to public school administrators. Moreover, research suggests that poor teacher morale negatively affects student performance just as high teacher morale positively affects student performance. Research also indicates that teacher morale is influenced more by the leadership style of the principal than any other single factor. This study was designed to determine whether certain relationships exist between teacher morale and the following independent variables: (1) principal trust and (2) leadership satisfaction. Additionally, investigations were conducted to determine whether the aforementioned independent variables lead to increased student achievement. Information regarding teacher morale was collected from 65 teachers using the 2009 MDed - Multi Dimensional Education Incorporated (MDed) Survey at three 7-8 Initiative schools in a large suburban district in southeast Texas. It was the intent of this study to determine whether principal leadership and teacher morale are significantly correlated. The study also demonstrated whether or not teachers' and principals' perceptions of leadership behaviors contribute to student achievement. vi After analyzing the data, it was found that principal leadership behaviors do significantly impact teacher morale, and student achievement. Additionally, it was found that positive teacher morale and student achievement in the Initiative Schools influenced positive student behaviors, ultimately reducing student discipline referrals. Multiple interventions were put into place that led to the positive outcomes. The interventions, new principal leadership, ongoing intensive staff development, establishment of small learning communities, reduction of student population and low student to teacher class ratios, were the catalysts that lead to the Initiative Schools' transformational success, a transformation of high teacher morale, increased student achievement, and positive student behaviors.

Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Effective leadership behaviors are imperative in contributing to student achievement and the overall culture of a school. School leaders must mold the culture of the school in order to create an environment which is conducive to learning. Studies on school leadership and student achievement have highlighted the evidence of school leadership behaviors which contribute to student achievement. The purpose of this investigation studied the extent of school leadership behaviors and or characteristics that contribute to student achievement. This study was designed to identify the relationship between the behaviors of the school leader and student achievement. The study determined if teachers and principals perceptions of leadership behaviors contribute to student achievement. More specifically, this investigation was designed to study the behaviors and practices of elementary principals as it relates to student achievement in elementary school students in a large urban school district. Sixty-three elementary teachers and six principals were selected for this study. The six principals were apart of the focus group interview. Data was collected through teacher and principal surveys, audio-taped interviews and transcriptions. SPSS 13.0 was selected as a means to interpret and analyze data. 2 The results of the study support the literature and indicate that principal leadership is critical to student achievement in elementary school students. More specifically, it raised the question about what specific leadership behaviors are used to increase student achievement. This study further clarified that the principal is the primary person for instituting leadership among all within the school which ultimately contribute to student success. The elementary principal has a demanding and challenging job in and of itself, but by recognizing the leadership behaviors, the principal can influence the climate, productivity, effectiveness of their school and ultimately student achievement.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this correlational study was to examine the relationship between teachers' perceptions of their principal's leadership behavior and the level of shared decision making practiced in their schools. This study sought to answer the following overarching research question: "To what degree is there a relationship between the leadership behaviors of secondary school principals and the level of shared decision making in selected Southeast Georgia schools as perceived by teachers?" Data were collected from secondary school teachers throughout Southeast Georgia using the Leadership Practices Inventory-Observer and the Shared Education Decisions Survey-Revised. Results indicated the highest leader practices identified to be encourage the heart and inspire a shared vision. The highest shared decision making dimension was pupil personnel services, followed closely by curriculum and instruction. Though very little relationship was found between leader behaviors and shared decision making as perceived by teachers, results from this study may be useful to principals who are considering shared decision making opportunities for their faculties. Key words: Teacher perceptions, principal leadership, behavior and shared decision making, symbolic interaction, Georgia secondary schools
Book Synopsis A Mixed Methods Case Study by : Khalid N. A. Sutton
Download or read book A Mixed Methods Case Study written by Khalid N. A. Sutton and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Philadelphia area, there are too many high schools where students are not making adequate academic progress, as measured by the Pennsylvania Value Added Assessment System (PVAAS). As a result of this insufficient academic progress, there are many young adults lacking the minimal skills necessary to enroll in college or to enter into the workforce. The purpose of this mixed methods case study was to explore principal leadership behaviors and characteristics, and the extent in which they contribute to the achievement of students in urban high schools within the Philadelphia region. In every institution of learning, the overarching goal should be centered on providing students the necessary skills to assist them in growing academically, as well as socially. Principals as the leaders, of K-12 buildings, play an important role in ensuring that students receive the best education possible, while also maintaining and creating a safe environment for students and staff members. The research question for this investigational study was: What is the relationship between principal leadership behaviors and high school student achievement in urban districts within the Philadelphia area? The researcher used the following sub-questions to provide answers to the overarching question: (1) What leadership behaviors do teacher respondents perceive as positively impacting student achievement in urban high schools; (2) What leadership behaviors do principal respondents perceive as positively impacting student achievement in urban high schools; (3) How do principals describe the direct effects of their leadership behaviors on urban high school student achievement; and (4) How do principals describe the indirect effects of their leadership behaviors on urban high school student achievement? At two high schools in the Philadelphia region, 27 teachers and two principals participated in this mixed methods study. The high school teachers completed a survey using the well-known and validated Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS), designed for teachers by Dr. Philip Hallinger. The two principal participants took part in a semi-structured interview and completed the PIMRS survey designed for school leaders. The semi-formal interviews, scheduled for 30 minutes, were recorded using two digital devices and transcriptions were electronically and manually completed. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to interpret and analyze quantitative data while InVivo and hand coding was used for qualitative data analysis. From the analysis of the qualitative data, three major themes emerged for principal behaviors: (a) data collection and analysis is essential, (b) curriculum and instruction must be monitored and (c) school culture is a factor. This study may inform current and future school leaders on the leadership behaviors essential to improving academic achievement. Considerations for further research in the area of principal leadership are offered.
