This book was released on 2009 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study examined middle school teachers' perceptions of (a) factors of school climate, (b) teacher efficacy in the workplace, and (c) school climate's effects on teacher efficacy. Participants in the study included 151 teachers from four middle schools, grade six through eight, located within the same school district in south central Pennsylvania. Qualitative data were gathered from 151 teachers who completed two survey instruments and three open-ended questions. Individual interviews were conducted with 20 teachers and observations were conducted at each study site. Findings of the data showed that three factors of school climate were consistently evident throughout the various data collection methods: (a) Academic Emphasis, (b) Teacher Affiliation, and (c) Collegial Leadership. Participants perceived the four middle schools to be orderly and serious, and teacher relationships were determined to be positive and supportive. The relationship between the principal and teachers was also perceived as friendly and helpful. Participants reported that an adequate supply of resources and materials were available for classroom use. The relationship between the principal and the superintendent was perceived as cordial. However, mixed perceptions were reported about the ability of the principals to secure resources and support for their individual schools. The survey data revealed that teachers perceived students to be (a) unmotivated to ask for help, (b) disinterested in completing assignments, and (c) disrespectful of those who succeed academically. Teacher efficacy was perceived to be high in regard to (a) student engagement, (b) instructional strategies, and (c) classroom management. The majority of the participants perceived the climate of their school to have an impact on their teaching efficacy and cited such factors as (a) an orderly environment, (b) academic focus, (c) students, (d) teacher relationships, (e) principal relations with teachers, (f) home influences, (g) instructional strategies, and (h) teacher motivation.

Kelton and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study was conducted to determine whether teachers' perceptions of climate within a school had a significant influence on the dimensions that support a community of professional learners. Teachers from ten middle schools in one central Florida school district completed a combined survey design which included questions pertaining to both climate characteristics and Professional Learning Community (PLC) dimensions. Foundational theories regarding both learning organizations and organizational climate were explored. Recent research on the development of professional learning communities and school climate was also examined. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed to investigate each research question; these statistics included Spearman rho correlations, multiple regressions, and chi-square analyses. Findings demonstrated that the null hypotheses were rejected or partially rejected for each research question. Significant relationships were found between teachers' perceptions of school climate and the dimensions of a PLC. Of the demographic variables, only years of teaching experience was found to be not significantly related to the school climate dimensions. The implications of these results validate the importance of building a climate of supportive principal behavior and committed and collegial teacher behaviors, as demonstrated by the significant relationship of these characteristics to schools exhibiting higher degrees of the dimensions that constitute a PLC. Educational stakeholders wishing to develop schools into job-embedded communities of learners with evidence of the five dimensions (shared leadership, shared vision, collective creativity, peer review and supportive conditions) must attend to developing the climate behaviors necessary for that to occur. As demonstrated by the research results, establishing an appropriate school climate that promotes professional interaction, support, and teacher commitment to students is a strong place to begin.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this multiple case study was to investigate teachers’ and school leaders’ perceptions of how school climate affects student achievement in math and reading at rural schools. The conceptual framework guiding this study was Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) ecological systems theory intertwined with the U.S. Department of Education’s School Climate Surveys (EDSCLS) (2019) school climate model to influence student academic achievement. Purposeful criterion sampling was used to select 13 teachers and school leaders from two rural schools in Western New York. Data was collected through a survey, teacher interviews, and school leader interviews. The data was triangulated and analyzed using open coding, categorical aggregation, and a cross-case synthesis to identify five themes relating to the research questions across multiple sources. The five themes included building strong relationships, social-emotional learning, empowering leadership, differentiation, and positive reinforcement. The results of the study revealed teachers and school leaders perceived school climate domains (engagement, safety, environment) affect student achievement in math and reading at rural schools.

Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to investigate student perception of school climate in the middle school. More specifically, this study examined school climate as it relates to student academic achievement, attendance, and disciplinary referrals. Participants consisted of 29 females and 14 males in grades 6, 7 and 8, and their parents, from a rural middle school located in upstate New York. Schhool climate was measured using the Student version of the Yale Child Study School Development Program, School Climate Survey-Revised Version (Emmons, Haynes, & Comer, 2002). Parents reported on their child's school performance. Data analysis consisted of a One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Pearson Product-Moment Correlations, and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis. Results indicated that student-teacher relations are related to academeic achievement and that student interpersonal relationhsips affect whether students attend school. Developmentally, students at the start of middle school have a greater perception that teachers treat them fairly. As they grow older this belief decreases."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: Like a strong foundation in a house, the climate of a school is the foundation that supports the structures of teaching and learning. This book provides a framework for educators to look at school and classroom climates using both informal and formal measures. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of climate and details techniques which may be used by heads or classroom teachers to judge the health of their learning environment. The book sets out to enhance understanding of the components of a healthy learning environment and the tools needed to improve that environment. It also looks at ways to assess the impact of change activities in improving and sustaining educational excellence. The international team of contributors bring perspectives from the school systems in America, UK, Australia and Holland.
