Book excerpt: Author's abstract and keywords: Georgia high school principals are under extreme pressure to meet new education standards through No Child Left Behind, such as ensuring and improving teacher quality, meeting and exceeding state mandated testing, increasing graduation and graduation rates, and meeting adequate yearly progress (AYP). The role of principal is important in an effective school where student achievement is occurring. The perceived implications of the principals. roles may also impact how efficiently they can improve student achievement in their schools. Principals. perceptions of their roles, and their perceived changes in their roles, may have an effect on how they address achievement in their school. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of Georgia high school principals. awareness and perceptions of their role in addressing the requirements of NCLB who had been in that position at least 5 to 7 years. A qualitative method was used to conduct the research. Procedures for this study involved employing a research instrument of 10 questions designed to elicit responses relating to three research sub-questions. The researcher interviewed five Georgia high school principals, one principal recently retired from public education. The study allowed the participants to articulate their experiences as they reflected upon the impact of NCLB on their roles as high school principals and how their roles evolved over their tenures. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded for recurring patterns and themes by the researcher. This information supports the conclusion that the requirements of NCLB mandates have had an impact on the role of Georgia high school principals in the selected regions. Principals have seen an evolution in their roles and responsibilities since the law has been enacted. Therefore, the answer to the overarching question is that Georgia high school principals are aware of their roles and perceive that NCLB mandates have affected their roles and responsibilities by requiring them to rely on their human relations and communications skills in developing teacher leaders and being more data driven in their instructional leadership. This research points to a definite evolution in the role of the high school principals studied as a result of NCLB.

Download or read book Perceptions of Georgia Alternative School Principals Regarding Their Leadership Preparation Programs written by Anterro A. Graham and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternative schools were characterized by numerous risk factors that impacted student learning, teacher retention, and access to essential resources. The implementation of self-efficacy was crucial in tackling and successfully finishing difficult tasks. Studies were scarce regarding the impact of school principals' self-efficacy on their leadership behaviors when running an alternative school. The purpose of this study was to investigate how principals perceived their self-efficacy, which was influenced by their participation in principal preparation programs in Georgia. Additionally, I examined the impact of self-efficacy on their leadership behaviors, the risk factors associated with leading an alternative school, and how principals conceptualized their leadership efficacy. The research questions highlighted that the data on leadership training programs mostly addressed collaboration, power sharing, connection development, communication, flexibility, and process orientation. Similar to principals of regular schools, principals of alternative school programs also benefitted from the unique support provided by universities, colleges, and school districts. It was crucial to have effective instructional involvement at all levels to develop a new curriculum specifically designed for alternative school principals. This curriculum should be characterized by increased communication between agencies, active engagement by cohorts nationwide, and the establishment of trust. Such measures were essential for increasing students' success in alternative schools. By persistently examining and implementing approaches to engage administrators in alternative school programs, we can enhance their ability to become accomplished alternative school principals with elevated self-efficacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate teachers' perceptions of principal instructional leadership practices in Georgia Reward Highest Performing and Georgia Reward Highest Progress elementary schools. As such, this causal-comparative study identified the frequency of principal instructional leadership practices and attempted to determine if these practices can be related to school effectiveness in high poverty schools. The sample of this study consisted of Georgia classroom teachers in high poverty elementary schools, specifically in the categories of Georgia Reward Highest Performing and Georgia Reward Highest Progress elementary schools. Hallinger's (1983) Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS) was utilized to assess the three dimensions of the instructional leadership construct. An independent samples t-test was conducted to determine whether the means of principal instructional leadership practices in Georgia Reward Highest Performing and Georgia Reward Highest Progress elementary schools, as perceived by teachers, were significantly different. Results indicated principals in Georgia Reward Highest Performing schools exhibited instructional leadership practices and behaviors in the dimensions of Defining the School Mission and Managing the Instructional Program more frequently than principals in Georgia Reward Highest Progress schools. A significant difference did not exist in the dimension of Developing the School Learning Climate Program between the school groups.

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

This book was released on 2012 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study analyzed the statistical difference between the perceptions of principals and teachers relative to leadership practices and the significance to student achievement. The researcher investigated principal leadership practices in select high schools in rural Northeast Georgia. The 188 participants completed the study from five high schools. The researcher used the Leadership Practices Inventory (Kouzes & Posner, 2003) instrumentation to record responses from principals and teachers in order to analyze leadership practices. Extant data researched from the 2010 school year identified schools successfully meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). The study supported the findings of Kouzes and Posner (2003) relative to how principal leadership practices impacted student achievement. The study identified three domains of the LPI instrument significant at the .05 level. The study also revealed similar perceptions of teachers and principals for the Kouzes and Posner leadership practices.
