This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher demographics of gender, age, years as a teacher, years at current school, and level of school (elementary, middle, high) were examined in relation to perceived leadership style and school status. Multiple regression analysis found that only years at current school that was significant in how they perceived their principal's transformational or passive avoidant leadership style. No demographic variables were significant for transactional style or school status. Overall, teachers were satisfied with the principal's leadership style and effectiveness. Teachers most often cited school culture as having an influence on student achievement in both improving and non-improving schools. Limitations of the study included self-reported teacher perceptions of principal leadership style from 16 schools in one school district which limits generalizability; no controls for teacher classroom performance and no verification of respondents actually observing principal behaviors; time of year survey was given; and, the use of one instrument to measure leadership style may not reflect the actual leadership style of the principal.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between principal leadership styles and student achievement. A total of 21 rural elementary principals participated in the MLQ-5x self-rater questionnaire. Multiple regression analyzed the principal responses and achievement scores from the TCAP scores for third and fifth grade students. The results of the findings suggested that principals' leadership styles did not have a significant relation to students' academic achievement scores or value-added scores. Further, the researcher suggested that principals did not play an active role in the outcome of students' achievement and value-added scores. Recommendations for future research included the need to examine teacher perceptions of principals in areas such as job satisfaction, classroom support, and professional development, specifically, how principals' leadership styles impacted teachers and indirectly impacted achievement scores.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative case study examined teacher perceptions within one rural, public East Tennessee school district of principal leadership styles based upon Kouzes and Posner's five domains: challenge the process, enable others to act, encourage the heart, inspire a shared vision, and model the way to determine if a dominate domain existed within teacher perception of the principal's leadership style. Principals who understand the effectiveness and impact that different leadership styles have upon the school environment, specifically teacher perceptions, generally identify with a particular style allowing the creation of a positive educational environment (Rowland, 2008). Teacher understanding of principals' leadership styles increased self-awareness and job satisfaction the teacher achieved. Effectively decreasing the chances of teacher burnout and job-related stress (Meador, 2016).

This book was released on 2012 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative study addressed the idea that a middle school principal could possibly impact teacher effectiveness in the classroom through the relationship of the teacher- perceived leadership style of the principal to teacher job satisfaction and efficacy. The sample consisted of 142 certified teachers from 8 public middle schools in an East Tennessee school district. Teachers completed the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, (Bass & Avolio, 2004) and the Job Satisfaction Survey, (Spector, 1994). Findings from this study suggest that the middle school teachers' perceptions of their principal's leadership did not have a statistically significant relationship to teacher job satisfaction. A new insight from this study suggests that principals should find ways to lead beyond teacher perceptions to address the needs of teachers in order to promote and encourage higher levels of teacher job satisfaction. Furthermore, findings from this study suggest that the middle school teachers' perceptions of their principal's leadership style had a statistically significant relationship to teacher efficacy. Findings from the exploratory question at the end of the surveys further validated this study by indicating teachers perceived their need for principal leadership to help them become more effective in the classroom by incorporating elements of both transformational and transactional leadership. This research may assist in developing leadership style training for principals desiring to indirectly influence academic achievement by influencing teacher job satisfaction and efficacy within their schools.

Download or read book The Effects of Principal Leadership on Teacher Morale and Student Achievement written by Lawrence A. Hindt and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers comprise the greatest professional population of a school; they have the most contact with students; and they have perhaps the greatest influence on school climate. For this reason, teacher morale is a topic of great concern to public school administrators. Moreover, research suggests that poor teacher morale negatively affects student performance just as high teacher morale positively affects student performance. Research also indicates that teacher morale is influenced more by the leadership style of the principal than any other single factor. This study was designed to determine whether certain relationships exist between teacher morale and the following independent variables: (1) principal trust and (2) leadership satisfaction. Additionally, investigations were conducted to determine whether the aforementioned independent variables lead to increased student achievement. Information regarding teacher morale was collected from 65 teachers using the 2009 MDed - Multi Dimensional Education Incorporated (MDed) Survey at three 7-8 Initiative schools in a large suburban district in southeast Texas. It was the intent of this study to determine whether principal leadership and teacher morale are significantly correlated. The study also demonstrated whether or not teachers' and principals' perceptions of leadership behaviors contribute to student achievement. vi After analyzing the data, it was found that principal leadership behaviors do significantly impact teacher morale, and student achievement. Additionally, it was found that positive teacher morale and student achievement in the Initiative Schools influenced positive student behaviors, ultimately reducing student discipline referrals. Multiple interventions were put into place that led to the positive outcomes. The interventions, new principal leadership, ongoing intensive staff development, establishment of small learning communities, reduction of student population and low student to teacher class ratios, were the catalysts that lead to the Initiative Schools' transformational success, a transformation of high teacher morale, increased student achievement, and positive student behaviors.

Abstract: Abstract A large body of research suggests there is a strong link between effective leadership and effective organizations (Lezotte, 1997; Sergiovanni, 1995; Bolman & Deal, 1994; Boyan, 1988; Griffiths, 1988). Hogan, Curphy, and Hogan (1999) assert that '...a growing body of evidence supports the common sense belief that leadership matters' (p.34). Fullan (2002) says that schools need leaders who can change 'what people in the organization value and how they work together to accomplish' (p.19). Meanwhile Beach and Reinhartz (2000) note that '...leadership is essential to promoting student achievement and creating a vision of success for the total educational program' (P.72). The principal is the critical person who makes the decisions that affect people's lives. We believe that the interactive relationship between the principal and various constituencies, including teachers, students and parents, are important in achieving the goals and objectives of the school. However, there are indications in the research primary school that school effectiveness has not improved since the appointment of a new principal three years ago. Although he adopted a more participatory leadership style that involved teachers in advising about or actually making decisions concerning school business, the school did not have any positive effect as the theory argued. Therefore, it arouses my interest in investigating the underlying reasons. In this paper, the different styles of leadership of the former and present principals will be discussed and the perception of the leadership of the two principals by teachers will be given. In addition, this paper will also present the extent to which the school was effective under the leadership of the two principals and how the two leadership styles have impacted on the effectiveness of the school.

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.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a principal's philosophy of leadership, school climate, and student achievement at two high schools. This study utilized a leadership style inventory, school climate assessment inventory, and interviews with principals and teachers. Teachers and principals volunteered to participate in this study. Findings from this study suggest that principals who possess a philosophy of servant leadership and utilize its practices have a positive impact on school climate and student achievement. Data derived from a school climate assessment, leadership inventory, and teacher and principal interviews reflected a positive relationship between the servant style of leadership and a school's climate and student achievement as measured by the PSSA. Specific components of leadership were cited as most effective in this study. Teacher perceptions of effective leadership practices included the ability to be approachable, fair, and consistent. Principals cited the ability to be open and have honest communication. Further, the principals found it was essential to support the needs of teachers. The majority of teachers and principals believed that teachers had the greatest impact on student achievement. The principals and teachers surveyed reported that student achievement is most positively impacted when teachers maintain positive relationships with students and set high expectations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study examined principal and teacher perceptions of leadership behavior which influenced the achievement of students, particularly those living in poverty. The students attended a high achieving elementary school where a majority were eligible for free and reduced lunch. This study also examined the principal responsibilities which the principal and teachers in this elementary school perceived to decline as a result of changes designed to increase student achievement. The study took place in a school district in Central Pennsylvania. The participants were a school principal and 10 teachers serving in a Title I distinguished high achieving, high poverty, elementary school. A questionnaire adapted and based on the findings of Marzano; Waters; and McNulty (2005), relating to principal leadership responsibilities linked to student achievement, and an interview were used in this study. These were administered to the principal and teachers in the school district. Analysis of the data suggested that use of the 7 responsibilities associated with second-order change were implemented by the principal in the participating district. Four of these, Monitoring and Evaluating; Optimizer; Intellectual Stimulation; and Ideals/Beliefs, were evidenced to a greater degree than others. Four responsibilities were seen to decline; these responsibilities were: Culture; Communication; Order; and Input. Some other responsibilities, although not targeted in the study, surfaced as strong characteristics or actions of the principal. These responsibilities were Affirmation, Focus, Situational Awareness, and Visibility.

Download or read book Teachers and Principals Perceptions of Leadership Skills and Attributes that Impact Student Learning written by Jennifer Rinehimer and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A principal’s leadership ability plays heavily into the success of a school. The multitude of responsibilities that a principal has requires them to manage the building, foster the learning environment, keep everyone safe and maintain relationships with teachers and students. Principals and their ability to lead can be a positive factor in supporting student achievement. Understanding the leadership skills and attributes that are the most effective for supporting student learning can make an impact in the success of the building. This paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of the leadership attributes of principals that support student learning. Teachers and principals were surveyed using Likert-type statements, open-ended questions and in-person interviews, which allowed them to give more insight into leadership attributes impacting student achievement. The findings of this study suggest that principals perceive safety to be of utmost importance in a school. Furthermore, they have found that fostering relationships with both teachers and students are important to supporting student achievement. Teachers’ perceptions mirrored this impact by finding that building relationships was an important factor in supporting them. This study concludes with implications for practice that may be used to assist building leaders in reflecting on their own practice and the leadership choices that are made on a daily basis.
