- Description:
- This quantitative study examined the impact of a school academic improvement treatment model emphasizing participatory leadership and other selected variables on student achievement and teacher job satisfaction. The study was over a one-year period involving thirty elementary schools in the largest school system in the state of Georgia. Twelve of the thirty schools were in the treatment group. The schools were selected because of their history of low student academic achievement. The study was an analysis of work during the 1996-97 academic school term. There were seven independent variables and two dependent variables in this study. The statistical procedures included a Pearson z correlation and a �. test of significance. There were three significant findings. In the treatment schools there were higher reading normal curve equivalency gains than in the control schools. The reading scores in the schools with the lowest reading comprehension scores on the 1996 Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) made the greatest reading gains on the 1997 ITBS. The schools with the lowest socioeconomic status (SES) made the highest gains.
