Book excerpt: There is substantial research on school reform efforts focused on programs and curriculum. The same cannot be said with regard to the evaluation of teachers and principals. Current reform efforts are pointed in that direction. Through Race to the Top (RTTT), a competitive grant, the federal government offered funding to states willing to conduct statewide school improvement initiatives. The goal of Race to the Top is to improve student achievement through effective teachers and leaders. New York State applied for, and was granted RTTT money to work on the Regents Reform Agenda. This gave rise to the New York Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) mandate, which is focused on the evaluation of teachers and principals. This exploratory study surveyed public school principals across the state to determine the extent they perceived the new APPR would improve instructional practices in their schools. Results suggest that most principals believe APPR will have a positive impact on instructional practices to some extent. Demographic characteristics, past and present evaluation practices, teacher practice rubrics and professional development were investigated to examine associations with principals' perceptions. The data revealed that variables from each of the four areas were significantly associated with principals' perceptions. The ability to provide specific feedback to teachers and a focus on student performance data were identified as the strongest contributors to principals' perceptions. This research was conducted in the first year of full implementation of the APPR mandate which provides baseline data for subsequent research. The findings may be useful for district leaders and policy makers when reviewing the implementation process. The data may provide insight for systems leaders to investigate and identify needs for additional support in their districts.

Download or read book New York State Public School Superintendents Perceptions of the Efficacy of the Impasse Procedures Under the Taylor Law and the Effect of the Impasse on School Climate electronic Resource written by Deborah L. Fox and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative and qualitative research was to investigate New York State public school superintendents' perceptions of the efficacy of impasse procedures within the Taylor Law, including the Triborough Amendment, to study perceptions of the nature of the relationship between union and district leaders during impasse, and to examine perceptions of the impact of impasse on school climate for students, parents, and teachers. Superintendents also recommended changes to the impasse procedures within New York State's Taylor Law. An invitation to participate in the research was initially sent to all New York State public school superintendents and BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services) district superintendents. Those who served as superintendents of districts during a period of impasse in teacher negotiations during the past ten years were invited to participate in an online survey to collect data for this research. Ninety-five percent of responding superintendents believe the current impasse procedures within the Taylor Law are ineffective. Superintendents overwhelmingly perceive the Triborough Amendment to the Taylor Law to have a negative effect on settling teacher contract negotiations by prolonging periods of impasse due to continuation of all terms and conditions of employment for teachers for an indefinite period of time until a contract settlement is reached.Two-thirds of superintendents perceived impasse in teacher contract negotiations to contribute to a negative to highly negative relationship between union and district leaders. School climate for teachers was most significantly impacted with respondent superintendents reporting 73.1 percent of teachers negatively or highly negatively affected by impasse. Results from this research will be particularly important to public school system leaders, teacher union leaders, and New York State policymakers.
