Full textSocial media and the ways in which educational leaders choose to utilize it their schools is at the forefront of professional development throughout numerous districts across Long Island and nationwide. While many districts have incorporated various models of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram into their standard communication practice, many more are hesitant to venture into this type of contact with the school community for a variety of reasons. Historically, school leaders relied on letters to parents sent home either by US mail or in their child’s backpacks to convey times and locations of meetings and to send important messages (including, but not limited to school practice and policies and dates for upcoming events). In the past ten years, school leaders have begun using websites and email to send important messages out to the school community. This study involved an in-depth examination of the literature surrounding the importance of the home-school connection and how school leaders are using the social media platform of Twitter in an effort to strengthen this relationship. Further discussion included how the ideals of branding a business are beginning to emerge in the school setting in order for the leader to have the ability to tell their own school’s story rather then having others tell it for them. Three school leaders currently engaged in the daily use of Twitter were interviewed, as well parents and teachers in the school community. Pertinent documents were reviewed, including school district policy on the use of social media and an analysis of the “tweets” sent out by the school leader. The findings of this study revealed how school leaders use Twitter to engage the school community and “brand” their school by having the ability to control the information that is shared with the public

Full textThe purpose of the study was to contribute to the understanding of school administrative teams and to shed some light on the nature and function of these teams through a study of their administrative team meetings.
As a qualitative descriptive study, this research involved 24 secondary school administrators. Data collection techniques included postal surveys to gather initial descriptive data, followed by telephone interviews that allowed for more in-depth discussion of issues faced by the principals and their administrative team.
The findings provide strong evidence of the complexity of the nature of secondary school principals, work and the importance of working collaboratively with their administrative colleagues.
The study has implications for the preparation of aspiring educational administrators, as well as those who currently hold these roles in today's schools.

This research sought to explore the link between mandatory school uniforms and a positive school climate. Beginning in the late 1980's public schools implemented mandatory school uniforms policies in urban school districts. The trend gained momentum when President Clinton included school uniforms in his 1996 State of the Union Address. Directly following the speech was a publication by the United States Department of Education on school uniforms that was distributed to all school districts in the country. Often the primary reason for implementing school uniforms was gang violence. Other reason included increased school safety and decreases in violence. Further, proponents believed uniforms would increase academic achievement and improve school climate. Research on the effects of school uniforms is limited and conflicting. Most studies available to date were conducted in urban settings. However, school uniforms have infiltrated rural and suburban schools districts as well. Two school districts in suburban Eastern Pennsylvania participated in this study. One school district had a mandatory school uniform policy. The other did not. Using a school climate survey and school uniform questionnaire, students in grades 4-6 and elementary school teachers rated the school climate in their respective schools. School climate was rated on seven subscales on the student school climate survey and 10 subscales on the faculty school climate survey. A t-test was performed on the data set to determine the difference between sample means and a factor analysis was conducted on the student school climate survey. Further, three themes emerged from the short answer questions on the student uniform questionnaire. The results of the research found that there was not a statistically significant relationship between a mandatory school uniform policy and elementary school students' perceptions of school climate. Of the seven subscales, students who wore school uniforms rated their peer relationships higher than students without school uniforms. Additionally, they rated the required rigor higher. Students that did not wear school uniforms rated the teacher-student relationship higher. When responding to the open ended questions, three themes emerged. They were expression, atmosphere and family. In essence, students were not in favor of wearing uniforms and believed uniforms suppressed their freedom of expression. Teachers responded similarly. The results showed no statistically significant relationship between a mandatory school uniform policy and teacher perceptions of school climate. Only two subscales showed any significant difference between the two groups of teachers. They were teacher-administrator relationship and student achievement. In both respects, teachers in the district without uniforms responded more positively. The results of this study should be used when reviewing current policy or considering new policy on school uniforms.

James, Shondell B. R. "Discipline In Charter Schools| Investigating How School Design Shapes Disciplinary Culture." Thesis, Hofstra University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10974935.
Full textBackground: Charter schools are one of the most recent attempts at improving the educational outcomes for low-income and minority students. These schools were created with the intent of being innovative, individualized, and allowing parents choice about the type of education their child received. This intention has not been fully realized, instead charter schools have been debated because of mixed performance and issues that have arisen surrounding their discipline policies, specifically suspension rates and strict behavior regulations. Purpose: This paper explores how educators perceive and experience school culture across two different types of charter schools, with the intent of revealing diversity within the charter school sector. In doing so, it seeks to understand how discipline policies differ across charter school types, and the impact of these differences on school culture. Research Design: Using the theoretical framework of a hidden curriculum, this multiple case study highlights the impact that discipline policies have on the school culture. Research Question: How do different charter design models shape the disciplinary culture in schools? Findings: (1) Community-based charter schools, whether No-Excuses or independent, are moving away from stringent disciplinary practices, but this results in perceived inconsistencies in implementation of their discipline policy. (2) The design model of the charter influences the disciplinary culture of the school, which is experienced differently based on one?s position. (3) Implicit assumptions about student demographics and the accountability context influence disciplinary practices.

Full textUrban attrition is a paramount problem facing K–12 education. With a noted 50% of beginning teachers exiting education or transferring to suburban school environments, attrition negatively impacts a school’s ability to maintain an effective and stable teaching staff. This qualitative study set to examine how leadership and the community affected veteran teachers’ decisions to remain working in urban elementary schools. Utilizing the professional capital as accountability framework developed by Michael Fullan, Santiago Rincon-Callardo, and Andy Hargreaves, this study examined the extent to which perceived leadership and community members affected 13 veteran teachers’ decisions to remain working in urban elementary schools. Utilizing interviews of teachers and principals along with artifact collections, some emerging themes included making a difference, reciprocal trust, mutual respect, and love. Policy and practice recommendations were for beginning teachers to continue support programs that foster community–teacher relations and involvement in parent-based organizations such as the Parent– Teacher Association.

Full textCurrently, three out of 10 parents fear for their students? safety while attending classes within the public school setting (McCarthy, 2015). This study focused on two elements that directly affect safety within schools: visitor management and intruder prevention. To analyze each of these two elements, qualitative methodology was utilized through four focus groups to determine the perceptions of Elementary school administrators, parents, and school resource officers on school safety. After conducting multiple interviews, four common themes emerged. The first theme was monitoring access to school buildings. Participants asserted taking an active approach in this area would increase the overall safety of students. The second theme discussed by multiple participants was to take additional measures to make the entrances of school buildings secure. The third theme that emerged was the importance of the role of the school resource officer. The fourth and final theme that developed was the importance of training and communication for administrators, school resource officers, staff, students, parents, and community members. After facilitating focus groups and analyzing the data obtained, it became evident the measure of a safe school depends on two variables. These variables are (1) to create a safe building for students managed by procedures designed with student safety at the forefront and (2) to employ trained individuals with the purpose of generating a positive and secure atmosphere. The data collected in this study could prove useful to district administrators wishing to design a safe and secure learning environment for students.

Full textThe purpose of this study was to garner the perceptions of superintendents and school resource officers in regard to district preparedness for multi-hazard events. Nationwide, schools are facing dramatic changes in the area of safety and security due to natural disasters, and more commonly, manmade hazards (Schaffhauser, 2013). Routinely, school personnel do not have the mindset, nor are they equipped, to respond to a major crisis (Trump, 2012). Recent mass murders and natural disasters in the United States have prompted districts to reach beyond the walls of their schools and into local communities for support (Gereluk, Donlevy, & Thompson, 2015). To identify how districts have fostered partnerships within the community and have collaborated to form an all-hazards team, three research questions were answered. Findings revealed perceptions regarding school district preparedness were less than favorable, while those related to having multi-jurisdictional, all-hazards teams were promising. Furthermore, data collected exposed limited knowledge of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as a common tool for managing all threats and hazards. By failing to adequately prepare for a major crisis event by utilizing free models and resources available, those responsible for emergency management within schools are jeopardizing the safety and security of all stakeholders.
