Book Description
Since the 1983 National Commission on Excellence in Education report found the nation’s education system as mediocre, efforts to advance school performance has involved many restructuring guidelines in improving academic achievement. School principals face challenges to increase student achievement under the mandated education legislative to promote student learning. Principal self-efficacy presents as a critical variable to explore given the challenges to lead in the current era of accountability and important school legislation. This study aims to determine if principal self-efficacy influences student achievement scores. Specifically, it investigates the relationships between school readiness, school climate, graduation rates in Georgia public schools; and a subset of schools to understand the relationship between these variables and principal self-efficacy. Fourteen Georgia high school principals completed the Principal Sense of Efficacy Scale developed by Tschannen-Moran and Gareis to assess their sense of self-efficacy. Principals also self-reported their school achievement scores. The researcher accessed individual school high school graduation rates, climate, and readiness scores from the Georgia College and Career Readiness Performance Index through the Georgia Department of education public website. A quantitative study was suitable to examine the relationship between the study variable. Responses were analyzed using the Pearson Correlational Statistical analysis. The results showed significant associations between the Georgia public school data, high school graduation school rate, readiness, and climate scores. These results warrant that further research on the topic of principal self-efficacy and student achievement. Principal self-efficacy is grounded in Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory. This theory proves that a strong sense of self-efficacy encourages a strong belief in one’s capabilities to master a challenge rather than giving up. School principals with a strong sense of self-efficacy are necessary given the demands of educational, legislative reform.
