This book was released on 2014 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study examined the instructional leadership of principals as co-participants in professional learning with teachers in a rural school district in eastern North Carolina. Teacher and principal interviews were the basis of understanding if the design of a professional learning initiative influenced principals towards facilitation and co-participation with teachers during Project Chief Education Officer (CEO). The implementation of the Sheltered Instructional Observation Protocol (SIOP) in this small district was the basis for two years of intensive professional learning for teachers and principals as a method for improving the teaching of academic language throughout the district. Qualitative data for the case study was collected using structured interviews to examine the primary research question of "How did participation in Project Chief Education Officer (CEO) to implement the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) influence teacher perceptions of professional learning and the instructional leadership behaviors of principals" in the following contexts: (1) the teaching of academic language; (2) facilitation and participation in professional learning; (3) teacher and principal perceptions of instructional leadership. The case study also examined participant responses in the context of: (1) historical perspectives; (2) perceptions of current reality; (3) reflections regarding instructional leadership behaviors. Findings revealed that the personal and professional narratives of teachers reflected the influence of principal instructional leadership behaviors as facilitators and co-participants on instructional practices and teacher perceptions of instructional effectiveness. Teacher narratives revealed that the instructional leadership behaviors of visible presence, resource provider and observing or monitoring provided the basis for positive teacher perceptions about the instructional leadership of principals and its influence on their engagement in professional learning and teacher instructional behaviors.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The focus of this study was to examine perceptions of middle school teachers regarding the changing role of the secondary middle school principal and compare teachers' results with assistant principals' and principals' perceptions of their role, thus adding the voice of teachers, regarding the secondary principal's role, to existing literature. Data was collected electronically using the survey method in one urban Florida school district. Qualitative and quantitative data were captured using the Principal's Role Questionnaire (PRQ) (Goodwin, 2002). Thirty-six principal role descriptor statements on the PRQ survey requested a level of agreement from research participants regarding changes, current and future roles of the secondary principal. Four open ended comment requests allowed participants to comment on the principal's role in those areas. Role descriptor statements were categorized into four areas: strategic leadership, instructional leadership, organizational leadership and political and community leadership. Quantitative findings revealed that teacher perceptions regarding the secondary middle school principal's role were significantly significant for only 14 of the 36 role descriptors when compared to principals' scores. Teachers' mean score ratings were lower than principals' for all 36 PRQ items, however their scores were considered in agreement, as no score was lower than 2.52. Lower score ratings for all 36 PRQ items suggested somewhat of a disconnection between principals and teachers as to the principal's role. Qualitative findings from teachers varied from an understanding of the principal's role to suggestions for the principal. Further research is needed to determine secondary principal role expectations that are important and desired by secondary teachers.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this research, elementary school principals' instructional leadership behavior was evaluated based on the perceptions of elementary school teachers. The research is believed to contribute to the development of instructional leadership behavior of elementary school principals for the development of school organization. A "semi-structured interview technique", one of the qualitative research methods in the literature was used in the research. The study group was made up of elementary school teachers working in Nigde, Turkey, during the 2008-2009 academic year. For the study sample, one teacher from each school was selected at random, resulting in group of twenty elementary school teachers. Based on the content analysis, five themes of instructional leadership behavior were found. These themes are: (1) determination of the school's purpose; (2) management of instruction; (3) evaluation of students; (4) support to teachers; and (5) creation of a regular learning-teaching environment.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due in part to higher demands for educational accountability at both the Federal and state levels, the role of the school principal has come to the forefront. Previous literature has considered the indirect ways in which school principals affect student achievement. Of particular interest has been the implementation of instructional leadership by school principals. This study advances the literature around the perception of school leader evaluation through the lens of instructional leadership. Through a quantitative survey, sent to both elementary principals and third through fifth grade teachers of average needs resource capacity school districts, the perceptions regarding instructional leadership and specific practices were illuminated as outlined by the Marzano, Carbaugh, and Toth (2015) School Leadership Evaluation Model. Although the Marzano et al. (2015) School Leadership Evaluation Model contains five primary domains, the one focused on within this work is the Domain 2, "Continuous Improvement of Instruction." Using data from the quantitative surveys, three separate research questions were analyzed. The first two research questions included the self-reported degree of adherence to the practices by elementary principals, as well as elementary teachers' perceptions of their principals' actions in relation to Domain 2 of Marzano et al.'s (2015) model. The third research question sought to consider whether a relationship existed between elementary principal adherence to the practices found within Domain 2 (Marzano et al., 2015) and student achievement outcomes as measured by the grades 3-5 New York State English Language Arts assessment. The findings illustrate that elementary principals and grade 3 through 5 teachers of average needs and resource capacity school districts perceive that, to varying levels of adherence, they are observing the 25 instructional practices found within Domain 2 of the Marzano et al. (2015) School Leadership Evaluation Model. However, contrary to expectations, there was no relationship between elementary principal adherence to the practices found within domain two (Marzano et al., 2015) and student achievement outcomes as measured by the grades 3-5 New York State English Language Arts assessment, excluding one instructional practice. A re-thinking of use of the model in connection with state and Federal policies related to accountability and principal evaluations at the local level are discussed. Recommendations for practice and use in school districts for elementary principals is also provided.

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.
