Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, the accountability, annual testing, and demonstrating academic progress of all students has become a major priority of educators throughout the nation. In Ohio, schools are rated based on their students' performance on state diagnostic and achievement tests (e.g., Local Report Cards). Therefore, school principals and other school personnel are in constant pursuit of learning how to educate students more efficiently. The purpose of this study was to determine the specific practices and leadership emphasis of the principal that are perceived to positively impact student achievement. Three successful elementary schools were investigated through principal interviews, teacher focus groups, and observations. The schools chosen were each designated as an Ohio School of Promise, meaning each has made great strides in positive student achievement scores in spite of a low socioeconomic level. Qualitatively, the study explored the perceptions of the principal's role in successful schools by answering the following research questions: (a) How does the principal support instruction aligned to the state's academic content standards? (b) How does the principal maintain continuous improvement of the school? (c) What is the principal's role in the design of instruction for student success? (d) What is the principal's role in developing partnerships with parents and the community to support student success? (e) What is the principal's role in developing a culture where each individual feels valued? As a result of the data analysis process, 13 themes developed among the three schools (e.g., common planning time, curriculum mapping, and intervention). However, an all-encompassing idea kept reoccurring: The principals were able to create the culture where both adults and students excelled. The principals engaged in activities that created and sustained a sense of belonging for students, teachers, parents, and the communities in which the schools resided. They also successfully provided a clear direction for students and teachers. These findings are perceived to be a major reason why students are achieving great success at these schools.

Readers learn directly from experts in each of the content domains (literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, music, early childhood, special education, English language learners, world languages, and physical education) how a commitment to social justice and equity can be grounded in core subject areas, why each has a place in the school, and what they need to know and do in each subject area. This book is a critical instructional leadership resource for new and veteran principals who want to see all students succeed. Contributors: Antonio J.

Written by former administrators who have walked in your shoes, this handy guide's strategies are based on interviews with successful leaders and are applicable in multiple contexts.

The authors understand that principals are expected to have the patience of Job, the tenacity of Atlas, the compassion of Mother Teresa, and a sense of humor. The recommended daily practices will help you stay focused on the most important things--leading effectively, promoting student achievement, and making a positive difference in students' lives.

Book excerpt: In summarizing findings on the principal's role in the school, this monograph assumes that the principal is a pivotal figure in the school and is the one who most affects the quality of teacher performance and student achievement. The author concludes that the studies reviewed demonstrate that the principal is a key factor in the success of the school. The booklet is divided into eight sections that examine studies related to the principal and (1) diversity versus uniformity in educational goals, (2) traditional versus nontraditional educational values and attitudes, (3) centralization versus decentralization in organizational relationships, (4) directiveness versus supportiveness in leadership behavior, (5) authoritative versus participative decision-making processes, (6) managerial versus instructional tasks as the principal's primary responsibility, (7) programmed versus adaptive approaches to change, and (8) interaction versus insularity in relations with the public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the direct and indirect influences of principals on student achievement? How do successful principals motivate others? What kinds of relationships do they have with parents, students, and staff? Principals and Student Achievement identifies 26 essential traits and behaviors of effective principals to show how they achieve success as instructional leaders. Based on a review of 81 key research articles from the last 20 years, this concise book examines how certain practices can affect student achievement, including: * Communication and interaction * Classroom observation and feedback to teachers * Recognition of student and staff achievement * Dedication to a safe and orderly school environment * Support of professional development of staff * Role modeling The book also reviews differences in instructional leadership between elementary and secondary principals, male and female principals, principals in high- and low-socioeconomic-status schools, and more. We all know that principals are important to student success, but few people have pinpointed exactly how they make a positive difference. At a time when principals are being asked to do more for school reform and accountability, Principals and Student Achievement provides a valuable resource for identifying what it takes to be an effective principal and, in turn, an effective school.

Book excerpt: Just as culture is critical to understanding the dynamics behind any thriving community, organization, or business, the daily realities and deep structure of school life hold the key to educational success. Reforms that strive for educational excellence are likely to fail unless they are meaningfully linked to the school's unique culture. In Shaping School Culture, Terrence E. Deal and Kent D. Peterson show how leaders can harness the power of school culture to build a lively, cooperative spirit and a sense of school identity. The authors draw from over twenty years of research on school improvement as well as from their own extensive work with school leaders across the country to identify viable new strategies for effective school leadership. They describe the critical elements of culture--the purposes, traditions, norms, and values that guide and glue the community together--and show how a positive culture can make school reforms work. Deal and Peterson also explore the harmful characteristics of toxic cultures and suggest antidotes to negativity on the part of teachers, students, principals, or parents. Using real-life cases from their own research, Deal and Peterson provide concrete, detailed illustrations of exemplary practice in different school cultures. They reveal the key symbolic roles that leaders play in school change and identify the specific skills needed to change school culture successfully. Shaping School Culture provides an action blueprint for school leaders committed to transforming their schools for success.
