This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to discover the principal instructional leadership behaviors differed in successful and nonsuccessful urban elementary schools. Six schools were selected and paired according to size, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and attendance to discover the salient leadership behavior differences between and among them. A descriptive survey research design was utilized to collect data through the Hallinger-Murphy Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS) which assessed frequency of leadership behaviors. Six (100%) of the principals and 95 (49%) teachers responded. The research questions were tested statistically using Analysis of Variance to decipher leadership differences between the pairs of schools and differences of perceived principal behaviors based on teachers' grade levels and teaching experience. The instructional leadership behaviors manifested by the principals in the selected schools were identified through the PIMRS and tested using the .05 confidence level as the measure of significance. The current literature reported that higher frequency of leadership behaviors, such as those identified in the PIMRS, could lead to academically successful schools. The results of this study went against the grain of the current literature since high scores on the PIMRS did not ensure successful schools and provided confoundment rather than clarification. The principals in the paired schools showed few differences in job behavior patterns, yet one school in each pair was academically successful; the other was not. The research questions stated: 1) There are significant differences between the instructional leadership behaviors demonstrated by the principals of schools with high student achievement when compared with the principals of schools with low student achievement; 2) student demographic characteristics (ethnicity, attendance of students, socioeconomic status) influence student success; and 3) there is a difference in teachers' perceptions of principals' instructional leadership behaviors based on their years of teaching experience and grade level taught. The first and third questions were rejected since the data in this study did not support the questions. The second question was not statistically tested due to a lack of difference in the student populations in the schools. Further study and testing of the Ballinger-Murphy Model is required in order to draw final conclusions on the relationship between principal instructional leadership behaviors and student achievement

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large urban public school system in the piedmont of North Carolina was the setting for this study. Individual school data as well as aggregated data from 25 studied schools were analyzed in order to form overall conclusion of perceptions of leadership for the elementary schools within the system. -- The purpose of this quantitative survey study was to examine principal perceptions of their leadership behaviors and determine if they aligned with teacher perceptions of these same behaviors using the five practices of exemplary leadership of The Leadership Challenge. The researcher disaggregated the data to identify areas of strength and weakness and compared the perceptions to the teachers they lead. The researcher also disaggregated data to determine the relationship of perceptions based on gender and teacher experience level to determine if either of leadership behaviors affect teacher perceptions of principal leadership. -- Through collecting research surveys of principals and teachers, the quantitative data were analyzed to determine if there was an alignment between teacher perceptions of leadership behaviors and leaders’ self-perceived behaviors. -- Three main findings resulted from the study. First, there was not a significant statistical difference in teacher perceptions of principal practices using the five exemplary leadership behaviors based on years of experience. Second, a gender difference emerged such that female principals were more likely to “challenge the process” than male principals. In other words, female principals showed a greater willingness to take risks and search for new opportunities (at least according to their own self-report). Third, teacher ratings of principal leadership behaviors aligned well with the principals’ own ratings.

Book excerpt: A small public school system in the piedmont of North Carolina was the setting for this study. Individual school data, as well as aggregated data from studied schools were analyzed in order to form overall conclusions of perceptions of leadership within the district. Schools were grouped according to the age of the student (elementary K-5, secondary 6-12) in an effort to provide the opportunity for further data analyses. -- The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the principals' self-reported leadership behaviors and the teachers' perceptions of the principals' leadership behaviors using Kouzes and Posner's Leadership Practices Inventory based on the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. The researcher disaggregated data to determine the area(s) in which principals perceive themselves strong or weak, and compared those perceptions to the views teachers hold. The researcher also disaggregated data to determine the relationship of perceptions of leadership at elementary and secondary levels. There was also a focus on leadership perceptions based on gender and teacher experience level to determine if either of those affect teachers' perceptions of principal leadership. -- Through collecting questionnaire research and surveys of principals and teachers, these quantitative data were analyzed to determine if there was a gap between teacher perception of leadership behaviors and leaders' self-perceived behaviors.

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.
