This study examined the impact of principals' leadership styles on the academic achievement of students as measured by the Mississippi Curriculum Test, Second Edition (MCT2). The 2013-2014 school year MCT2 mathematics and language arts scores were used as measures of student achievement and high-stakes testing. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ5x) was distributed to 420 principals. However, because of incomplete information given by the principals on the questionnaire, and the fact that the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) did not report MCT2 scores for particular schools, some of the principals' information was not useful; thus leaving the researcher with a sample size of n = 110 participants. This study was guided by 2 research questions. Relationships were analyzed using the Multivariate test for Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) in which the variable of socioeconomic status was used as a covariate because it was found to result statistically different scores across group means. The research questions sought to determine what type of principal leadership style resulted in higher student achievement in mathematics and language arts. The findings of this study indicated that there were no statistically significant differences among the transformational, transactional, and passive avoidant leadership styles. It is imperative that principals draw from all leadership approaches (i.e. transformational, transactional, and passive avoidant approach) in their practice instead of focusing on just one type of leadership style. This is true especially in schools that serve a large percentage of students that come from families with low socioeconomic status since this study found that socioeconomic status had a statistical significant effect on student achievement. Only through the utilization of research-based practices will schools be able to raise the bar of student achievement by revamping the leadership style of the school's ultimate instructional leader, the principal.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between principal leadership styles and student achievement. A total of 21 rural elementary principals participated in the MLQ-5x self-rater questionnaire. Multiple regression analyzed the principal responses and achievement scores from the TCAP scores for third and fifth grade students. The results of the findings suggested that principals' leadership styles did not have a significant relation to students' academic achievement scores or value-added scores. Further, the researcher suggested that principals did not play an active role in the outcome of students' achievement and value-added scores. Recommendations for future research included the need to examine teacher perceptions of principals in areas such as job satisfaction, classroom support, and professional development, specifically, how principals' leadership styles impacted teachers and indirectly impacted achievement scores.

This book basically investigates principal's leadership impact on students academic achievement. It examines how principal leadership is meaningfully related to students' learning and their academic achievement levels. The book also explores how contextual situations, cultural differences and environment might constitute a significant fact in informing and impacting the effectiveness of the leadership engagement of the principal in the learning environment. This book recognizes that leadership styles and approaches employed by principals in their work are many and varied. It observes too that the application effectiveness these leadership styles can be shaped by the needs and expectation of the specific situations and environment of operation. The book then argues, against this recognition, that the dichotomy often drawn between effective leadership styles and ineffective ones may be nonexistent. As such, the book notes that the situational needs and differences, cultural and environmental expectations and nuances define the application effectiveness of principal leadership styles in the learning environment.

Based on interviews with key actors in the policy-making process, this book maps the changes in education policy and policy making in the Thatcherite decade. The focus of the book is the 1988 Education Reform Act, its origins, purposes and effects, and it looks behind the scenes at the priorities of the politicians, civil servants and government advisers who were influential in making changes. Using direct quotations from senior civil servants and former secretaries of state it provides a fascinating insight into the way in which policy is made. The book focuses on real-life political conflicts, examining the way in which education policy was related to the ideal of society projected by Thatcherism. It looks in detail at the New Right government advisers and think tanks; the industrial lobby, addressing issues such as the National Curriculum, national testing and City Technical Colleges. The author sets these important issues within a clear theoretical framework which illuminates the whole process of policy making.
