This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine how the participants perceived their principal's transformational and transactional leadership style and whether differences existed in their perceptions based on the demographic variables of age, gender, experience, educational attainment and ethnicity. Transformational leaders were considered influential, change agents who motivated teachers to work collaboratively as a team to achieve defined goals. On the other hand, transactional leaders developed impersonal relationships and motivated teachers according to their personal self-interest. They focused on social and economic exchanges, using contingent rewards to reinforce positive behaviors and administered punishment to reform negative behaviors. One hundred and thirteen participants from six elementary schools participated in this study. The Multi-Leadership Questionnaire was used to collect data. Cronbach alpha was used to establish internal reliability consistency of the instrument. The data were analyzed using mean scores, percentages, chi-square, t-test and ANOVA. The research findings indicated that perception scores at both school levels were higher for transformational leadership than transactional leadership. According to the mean score interpretation (Table 2) and the participants' mean scores, 92.9 % of participants perceived their principal as fairly often a transformational leader and 7.1% of participants perceived their principal as frequently a transformational leader. Ironically, 100% of participants perceived their principal as sometimes a transactional leader. The research findings further indicated that overall, teachers at both levels perceived their principal as fairly often a transformational leader and sometimes a transactional leader. Based on the demographic findings, an ANOVA revealed statistically significant differences in teachers' perceptions of their principal's transformational leadership style based on years of experience. Participants with more years of experience perceived their principal with significantly higher mean scores than those with fewer years of experience. Recommendations include: (a) conducting further research to determine the impact that principals' leadership style have on student performance from a national perspective, (b) conducting a Longitudinal Research study to determine the impact that leadership styles have on student performance, and (c) exploring leadership styles extensively to identify the leadership traits exhibited by both public and private elementary school principals.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since a building principal is the most important employee in a school building with regards to setting educational standards and creating culture, it is important for this leader to consider leadership style and to recognize the importance of teachers' perceptions on effectiveness. The purpose of this ex post facto study was to explore the relationship between the leadership style of building principals and perceived effectiveness of those leaders. Subtopics of this study considered the relationship that gender, leadership style, and educational level of the school building (elementary vs. secondary) have on perceived effectiveness of leaders. Data were collected via Bass & Avolio's web-based survey entitled the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) from a sampling of elementary and secondary building principals in Nassau and Suffolk County districts and at least five faculty members from each principal's school. In total, 38 building principals and 236 teachers participated in the study. Descriptive statistics were compiled on the demographic data obtained, and two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tests and an Independent Samples t-test were run using SPSS to understand if there was any significant relationship between gender, type of school and leadership styles or between leadership style, gender, type of school and the perceived effectiveness of the building principal. Further, this study explored if there was a statistically significant difference between the perceptions about leadership style and effectiveness between principal participants and teacher raters. Results of the study revealed non-significant associations for all research questions; however, statistically significant simple main effects found that at the elementary level, female principals were considered significantly more transformational than male principals. Findings also indicated that teachers on both educational levels perceived their male principals to exhibit more laissez-faire leadership behaviors than female principals, and there was a statistically significant difference in effectiveness scores between elementary and secondary school levels for male principals with elementary school teachers rating their male principals as more effective. Through these findings, certain strategies can be ascertained to help current leaders reflect on practice, to better prepare future leaders, and to contribute to the discourse about gender, school type, and leadership in education.

Purser and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to determine if relationships existed between the 21 instructional leadership behaviors identified by Marzano, Waters, and McNulty (2005) and elementary student academic achievement in the areas of reading, writing, and science as measured by the state accountability test (STAAR). A total of 25 principals representing 25 elementary school campuses completed the Adapted School Leadership Behaviors Survey (ASLBS). This survey was adapted from the School Leadership Behaviors Survey (SLBS) Schindler (2012) and used to assess principal self-perceptions of the 21 instructional leadership behaviors as they relate to campus student achievement. Correlational analyses were conducted to investigate the relationship between elementary school principals’ perception of their 21 instructional leadership behaviors and student achievement as measured by the state assessment (STAAR) Percent at Phase-in Satisfactory Standard or Above (Sum of All Grades Tested) in the subjects of reading, writing, and science. The findings of the study would suggest that there were some weak uphill (positive) relationships between the 21 instructional leadership behaviors and campus student achievement. However overall the correlations found could be described as having a range between no linear relationship and a moderate downhill (negative) relationship. For purposes of this study, correlations where -.30 ≤ r ≤.30 were deemed too small to discuss in detail but are included in the statistical tables for reference. Negative notable correlations were found between the instructional leadership behaviors of change agent, contingent rewards, flexibility, intellectual stimulation, involvement in curriculum and instruction optimizer, and outreach and one or more of the STAAR tested subjects of reading, writing, and science. Of all the positively correlated, none were statistically significant. The leadership behavior of Change Agent was negatively correlated to writing (r = -.518) and statistically significant (p=.008). The leadership behavior of Contingent Rewards was negatively correlated to science (r = -.412) and statistically significant (p=.041). The leadership behavior of Involvement in Curriculum was positively correlated to writing (r = -.419) and statistically significant (p=.037). These three leadership behaviors showed a moderate downhill (negative) relationship to campus academic achievement. Of the three correlations which were found to be negative and at a statistically significant level (p≤ .05), the greatest negative correlation found was where r = -.518 which is still a very small correlation. The sample size was such that relationships were found, but significance would not be generalizable.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between principals' sense of achievement and teachers' perceptions of their principals' leadership behaviors. This was determined by examining job satisfaction of principals and leadership style using the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) and the School District's Climate Survey. The population for this study was teachers and principals in a large suburban school district in the Richmond, VA area. Participating schools were selected using a convenience sample based upon those in the school district's annual school climate survey rotation. Of the district schools scheduled for the climate survey, only those that had their principal in place for a minimum of 1 year were chosen to participate. There were nine schools on the cycle for the 2011-2012 school year that met this criteria, yielding 9 principals and approximately 500 teachers. Data were collected from 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The principals were asked to complete the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire Sense of Achievement subscale survey. Teachers in the selected schools had recently participated in the School District's Climate Survey. Data for this study came from the Leadership subscale of the survey. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that principals generally are satisfied with the sense of achievement they have in their jobs. Data suggest they are most satisfied with having the opportunity to do something worthwhile and less satisfied with seeing the results of their work. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that teachers generally are satisfied with their principals' leadership behaviors. A Pearson correlation was run to determine the relationship between the mean scores of the principals' sense of achievement and the teachers' perceptions of their principals' leadership behaviors. The data revealed that there was no statistically significant relationship between teachers' perceptions of their principals' leadership behaviors and principals' sense of achievement. While no significant relationship between the two data sets was found, analysis supports the need for principals to be satisfied with their jobs in order to create the open climate necessary for teachers to cultivate a collaborative approach to their craft. Teachers in an open climate are more likely to cooperate and are more committed to their job and each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large urban public school system in the piedmont of North Carolina was the setting for this study. Individual school data as well as aggregated data from 25 studied schools were analyzed in order to form overall conclusion of perceptions of leadership for the elementary schools within the system. -- The purpose of this quantitative survey study was to examine principal perceptions of their leadership behaviors and determine if they aligned with teacher perceptions of these same behaviors using the five practices of exemplary leadership of The Leadership Challenge. The researcher disaggregated the data to identify areas of strength and weakness and compared the perceptions to the teachers they lead. The researcher also disaggregated data to determine the relationship of perceptions based on gender and teacher experience level to determine if either of leadership behaviors affect teacher perceptions of principal leadership. -- Through collecting research surveys of principals and teachers, the quantitative data were analyzed to determine if there was an alignment between teacher perceptions of leadership behaviors and leaders’ self-perceived behaviors. -- Three main findings resulted from the study. First, there was not a significant statistical difference in teacher perceptions of principal practices using the five exemplary leadership behaviors based on years of experience. Second, a gender difference emerged such that female principals were more likely to “challenge the process” than male principals. In other words, female principals showed a greater willingness to take risks and search for new opportunities (at least according to their own self-report). Third, teacher ratings of principal leadership behaviors aligned well with the principals’ own ratings.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the teachers' perception of level of implementation of the four priorities of the Basic School and teacher perception of principal effectiveness. The specific objectives of this study were: to determine teacher perception of the level of implementation of the four priorities in 21 schools formally involved in the Basic School network for over three years, to determine teacher perception of principal effectiveness within 12 dimensions and indicators of effective leadership in 21 schools formally involved in the Basic School network for over three years, and to examine the relationship between implementation of the Basic School framework and effective leadership in 21 schools formally involved in the Basic School network for over three years. Two instruments were developed, the Four Priorities of the Basic School: Teacher Perception Instrument to assess implementation of the Basic School framework, and the Dimensions of Principal Leadership Instrument to assess teacher perception of principal effectiveness. Procedure . The entire population of certified staff members in each of the 21 schools affiliated with the Basic School National Network for three or more years was asked to participate in the study. Five hundred eighty-five surveys were mailed out with a return of 327. Eighty percent of the certified teachers from the 14 participating schools returned completed surveys. The data gathered were then subjected to validity, reliability and correlational statistical analyses. Findings. The results of this study indicate that both instruments--the Four Priorities of the Basic School: Teacher Perception Instrument and the Dimensions of Principal Leadership Instrument --are reliable instruments. Each instrument is also strong in convergent validity while showing weakness in construct and discriminant validity. The results of this study establish that there is a relationship between implementation of the Basic School priorities for school renewal and teacher perception of principal effectiveness. However, the attempt to explain the degree to which selected underlying background variables contributed to explaining this relationship was only partially successful.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the differences of the teachers' perceptions and principals' perceptions of the principals' leadership practices in public schools of a small rural county in western North Carolina. The participants in this study included 207 certified teachers and 11 building-level principals. The researcher used the survey method of data collection in which the teacher participation was 70% and the principal participation was 92%. -- The instruments used to collect data included a demographic survey and the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) (Kouzes & Posner, 2003a). The demographic survey was used to obtain teacher demographic characteristics. The LPI was used to record the teachers' perceptions and the principals' perceptions of the principals' leadership practices within the school setting. -- Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential procedures. At the elementary level, teachers evaluated their principals lower in all five leadership practices than their principals evaluated themselves. At the high school level, the principals evaluated their leadership practices lower than their teachers in all five leadership practices. For the five leadership practices, the principals of elementary, K-8, and middle levels evaluated themselves significantly higher than the high school level. Among the teachers, the K-8 level evaluated their principals' leadership practices higher in all five leadership practices than all other levels. In all five leadership practices, the male principals evaluated their self-observed leadership practices lower than their teachers.
