Principals and Student Achievement
Author: Kathleen Cotton
Publisher: ASCD
ISBN: 087120827X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
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.

United States Public School Principals' Job Satisfaction
Author: Teresa G. Perkins
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781392451991
Category : Public schools
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This study examines United States public school principals' job satisfaction by region and several other context factors including principals' gender, school level and school location. The purpose of this study is to identify significant context factors that might make a difference to principal job satisfaction for all public schools in the United States. Educational research clearly posits principals support student achievement and teacher effectiveness, and so this study's exploration of influencing context factors related to principal job satisfaction is timely, relevant, and necessary. A sample of US public school principals is from the 2015-16 National Teachers and Principals Survey (NTPS) principal data that was collected by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). This study will apply one-way ANOVA to compare principal job satisfaction between the four regions and then apply two-way ANOVA to further compare principal job satisfaction by region and one of the three context factors (principal gender, school level, and school location). At publication, this study is the first comprehensive research of United States public school principals' job satisfaction by region and by region with specific independent variables tied to contextual relevance. The findings will have implications for principal retention, and for the design of current and future professional development action plans for building administrators, school continuous improvement plans and higher education leadership studies for aspiring principals.

Motivators of Job Satisfaction for Elementary School Principals in Central Virginia
Author: Michelle Kelly McQueen
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Elementary school principals
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
This study investigated the overall job satisfaction level and motivators of job satisfaction for elementary school principals in Central Virginia using the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (1977) revision via Web-based survey through Virginia Commonwealth University's Inquisite Survey System. The research literature supports job satisfaction of school principals being a worthwhile topic of study. Researching aspects of job satisfaction is important because a job is not merely life-sustaining, but enriching and enhancing (Darboe, 2003), and the impact of leadership on everyone in schools is substantive. Elementary principals' general job satisfaction level was investigated using descriptive demographic data and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) through Web-based survey. Using 4 of Frederick Herzbergfs (1959) 6 motivators from the MSQ (i.e., Achievement, Advancement, Recognition, and Responsibility), job satisfaction level was examined in terms of variance in relation to the respondents' gender, age, level of education, salary level, years of experience, number of full-time assistant principals, school socioeconomic status, school size, or accreditation status assigned by the Virginia Department of Education. This study collected information from 85 out of a possible 151 public elementary school principals across 14 school divisions in Region I of Central Virginia. The findings of this study suggest that on an overall basis respondents were satisfied with their jobs. They were also satisfied with their job as it relates to Herzberg's four motivators associated with those particular scales of the MSQ. Findings demonstrated that job satisfaction level did not significantly vary in relation to the nine demographic variables except in one category, level of education. Respondents with education beyond master's degrees were more satisfied with their sense of achievement. The response rate for this Web-based survey was 56%. This response rate contrasts with most literature that described Web-based surveys as having lower response rates than mailed surveys (Fricker & Schonlau, 2002). This indicates that principals will answer Internet surveys in higher numbers when asked to do so, when using repeated contacts, and/or when a colleague requests their participation. It would be worthwhile to replicate this study using a wider demographic area or through the use of qualitative methodology.
