Pages : 101
Book Description
This study examined the impact of principals' data-driven decision-making practices on student achievement using the theoretical frame of Dervin's sense-making theory. This study is a quantitative cross-sectional research design where principals' perceptions about data were quantitatively captured at a single point in time. The participants for this study were 253 rural school principals currently serving in schools across Texas, and included both males and females across all ethnic groups, including white, African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American and other. A developed survey instrument was administered to principals. The findings from the quantitative sem analyses indicated that the Principal Uses Data to Improve Student Achievement latent variable (Factor 1) and the Principal and Staff Ability to Analyze Data to Improve Student Achievement latent variable (Factor 2) were significantly and positively associated with student achievement. Higher scores on these two latent variables were associated with better student achievement. There was no statistical association between the Principal Uses Data to Design Teacher Professional Development latent variable (Factor 3) and this target outcome. In total, the three latent variables accounted for 6% of the variance in student achievement (taks). When the campus level outcome was considered, no statistically significant associations between any of the latent variables and this outcome were evident. In total, the three latent variables accounted for less than 2% of the variance in campus level. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest llc.

Book Description
The purpose of this record of study was to investigate the nature of relationships between the perceptions of principals and teachers on site-based decision making (SBDM) and to uncover patterns existing in relationships between and among state school ratings, principals' and teachers' perceptions of SBDM decision making at their schools, and school outcomes of discipline referrals and attendance percentages. The investigator chose four schools with different state school ratings as sites for investigating these relationships. Participants in the study were principals and teachers selected from four school types: Exemplary, Academically Recognized, Academically Acceptable, and Academically Unacceptable. The research design was a non-experimental and descriptive design focused on the four selected elementary school types. The descriptive statistic of mean was used to determine the strengths of relationships between these variables. Results of the investigation identified various trends between principals' and teachers' perceptions about SBDM at their schools. Outcomes from discipline referrals and attendance percentages in the four types of schools did not show a noteworthy difference. Overall, the data were an indication that elementary principals and teachers embrace the idea of SBDM at levels between 30% and 69% or at a higher level of 70% or above, regardless of the state's rating of school type, number of student discipline referrals, or percentage of student attendance. This was demonstrated by the vast number of "strongly agree" and "agree" responses to survey items among the four schools with different ratings. Using this study as a baseline, recommendation is made to conduct a study of all district schools using a more precise survey to determine the effects of principals' and teachers' perceptions of SBDM on student achievement. Additional recommendation is made for a study to determine whether common variables other than SBDM exists in high performing Texas elementary schools that could possibly have an impact on student achievement. Although achievement objectives and instructional activities may vary as described in a state's curriculum, this particular research could be accomplished without regard to a particular state.

Book Description
This study focuses on the process of participatory decision making as it applies to the functioning of the Professional Personnel Advisory Committees (PPACs) in the Chicago Public Schools. The researcher employed a mixed methodological approach to providing an understanding of the perceptions of both principals and PPAC members as related to the involvement of that group in decision making. Participants provided descriptions related to the level of the groups' awareness of the legislation which created the PPAC, activities that facilitate or impede their operation and the degree of support provided by the principal. Data were collected through the use of a survey and interviews. Surveys were sent to 48 schools. In each school separate surveys were provided for the principal and three members of the schools' PPAC. Interviews of the principal and three members of the PPAC were conducted at one the schools that responded to the survey.
