Book Description
The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions and opinions of teachers regarding the effective leadership practices of elementary school administrators. A survey was prepared consisting of 10 statements on school leadership. One hundred elementary school teachers were asked to select a response using a 4-point Likert-type scale that indicated their level of agreement or disagreement with each statement. There were 63 surveys completed and analyzed for this study. The results of a chi-square analysis showed that teachers either agree or strongly agree that elementary school administrators challenge teachers to improve teaching and provide support; create team building activities for the staff; use staff meetings for teacher collaboration; work with teachers to create a school vision; lead professional development; check lesson plans for alignment to objectives; mentor new and low-performing teachers; conduct walk-throughs; and maintain visibility, accessibility, and approachability.
