Principal Influence on School Climate

Résumé du livre

The target population for this study consisted of public school elementary principals and teachers across the United States of America who were identified to participate in the 2007-2008 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) by the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES, 2010). The sample identified for this study consisted of 2,761 public elementary principals and 10,293 teachers. Items on the SASS allowed the researcher to determine the principal's degree of focus on instruction, teacher collaboration, and parental involvement, as well as the teachers' perceptions of the school climate. The primary statistical analysis used for this model was multiple linear regression using hierarchical forced entry to better understand how each of the specific constructs within the networked leadership model impacts school climate.
