DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of leadership behaviors of principals of North Carolina schools that exclusively serve children of military families based on the perceptions of school administrators (principals and assistant principals) and teachers. This study provides an additional view of the relationship between the perceptions of leadership behaviors of school administrators and their teachers. The population/sample consisted of 28 school administrators (16 principals and 12 assistant principals) and 632 teachers (K-12). The actual number of respondents included all 28 administrators and 365 teachers. The data obtained for the study were collected via a web-based survey provided to all school administrators and teachers in schools located on the Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina military installations. The survey instrument, Principal's Leadership Behavior Survey, was developed by Dr. Charles Bagwell and Dr. Isaiah Reid at South Carolina State University and was designed to measure the leadership perceptions of school administrators and teachers. The Principal's Leadership Behavior Survey (Principal Form) was completed by school administrators to obtain data on their self-perceptions of their leadership behaviors. The Principal's Leadership Behavior Survey (Teacher Form) was completed by teachers to obtain data concerning their perceptions of their school administrator's leadership behaviors. Survey data were analyzed using the Statistical Package of the Social Sciences (SPSS-15). The One Way Analysis Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. The data were analyzed within five subscales of leadership behaviors: vision, curiosity and daring, empowering others, leading form the front, and integrity. After the collection of data and analysis were completed, the study found that there were significant differences between the perceptions of leadership behavior of school administrators and teachers in all five leadership behavior subscales.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA large urban public school system in the piedmont of North Carolina was the setting for this study. Individual school data as well as aggregated data from 25 studied schools were analyzed in order to form overall conclusion of perceptions of leadership for the elementary schools within the system. -- The purpose of this quantitative survey study was to examine principal perceptions of their leadership behaviors and determine if they aligned with teacher perceptions of these same behaviors using the five practices of exemplary leadership of The Leadership Challenge. The researcher disaggregated the data to identify areas of strength and weakness and compared the perceptions to the teachers they lead. The researcher also disaggregated data to determine the relationship of perceptions based on gender and teacher experience level to determine if either of leadership behaviors affect teacher perceptions of principal leadership. -- Through collecting research surveys of principals and teachers, the quantitative data were analyzed to determine if there was an alignment between teacher perceptions of leadership behaviors and leaders’ self-perceived behaviors. -- Three main findings resulted from the study. First, there was not a significant statistical difference in teacher perceptions of principal practices using the five exemplary leadership behaviors based on years of experience. Second, a gender difference emerged such that female principals were more likely to “challenge the process” than male principals. In other words, female principals showed a greater willingness to take risks and search for new opportunities (at least according to their own self-report). Third, teacher ratings of principal leadership behaviors aligned well with the principals’ own ratings.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This quantitative study determined the relationship between leadership dispositions and behaviors North Carolina teachers and school administrators deemed essential in leadership development and creating a positive school climate. North Carolina teachers and administrators among the chosen eight North Carolina School Districts were surveyed concerning Marzano's 21 responsibilities of school leaders. The quantitative method featured a cross-sectional survey to investigate how the administration's transformational or transactional dispositions were preferred and influenced the teacher's and administrator's perceptions of school climate. Binary logistic regression was employed to infer relationships between the dependent and independent variables in six models. Results showed significant relationships between predictor and criterion variables, including good school climate and preference for leadership styles. Implications for practice included several recommendations for school districts and their leaders. Further research recommendations also stemmed from this project to further examine variables and employ a phenomenological or narrative inquiry design to study several of the predictor variables that would not lend themselves to further quantitative analysis."--Abstract

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlthough leadership theories have evolved to reflect changing social contexts, many remain silent on issues of equity, diversity, and social justice. Diversity and Leadership, by Jean Lau Chin and Joseph E. Trimble, offers a new paradigm for examining leadership by bringing together two domains—research on leadership and research on diversity—to challenge existing notions of leadership and move toward a diverse and global view of society and its institutions. This compelling book delivers an approach to leadership that is inclusive, promotes access for diverse leaders, and addresses barriers that narrowly confine our perceptions and expectations of leaders. Redefining leadership as global and diverse, the authors impart new understanding of who our leaders are, the process of communication, exchange between leaders and their members, criteria for selecting, training, and evaluating leaders in the 21st century, and the organizational and societal contexts in which leadership is exercised.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this era of educational accountability, achieving and maintaining high levels of student academic performance is the goal of every school. State accountability models serve as the measure to determine if school districts are successfully educating students, and the responsibility of student academic success rests on the principal of each school. Effective leadership is a necessary component of successful schools, especially in rural school districts. The focus of this research was to explore teachers' perceptions of the leadership behaviors and practices of their principals and determine if relationships existed between the leadership behaviors and the schools' accountability ratings. A survey research design was utilized in this study of eight schools across three rural school districts in central Mississippi. The researcher utilized The Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale to survey 121 teacher participants regarding their perceptions of principals' leadership behaviors or practices. The study revealed no statistically significant relationships existed between principals' leadership behaviors and school accountability ratings. However, the findings support existing literature on the indirect influence of principal leadership on student achievement.
