- Description:
- The problem of this study was to determine the relative influence of student achievement as measured by standardized test scores on teachers' perceptions of leadership behavior as it affects the school learning climate. The purpose of this descriptive survey was to determine whether there are any significant differences between the perceptions of teachers of the operational effectiveness of selected school learning climate factors with schools divided into high, average, and low one-thirds, based on a standardized achievement test. The selected school learning climate factors were Administrative Leadership, Emphasis on Achievement, Teacher Expectation of Students, Evaluation of Instructional Program, Safe and Orderly Environment, Grouping Practices, and Time Devoted to Instruction. Findings 1. Teachers in high achieving middle and high schools were more positive about the variables Teacher Expectation, Safe and Orderly Environment, and Time Devoted to Instruction, than teachers in low achieving schools. 2. Teachers in high achieving middle schools were more positive about the variable Grouping Practice than teachers in lower achieving middle schools. Recommendations 1. Staff development activities for middle and high school teachers related to teachers1 expectations of students. 2. Staff development activities for middle and high school teachers related to a safe and orderly environment. 3. Staff development activities for middle and high school teachers related to the grouping of students for instruction. 4. Staff development activities for middle and high school teachers related to the use of instructional time.
