Are Nondenominational Schools the Best?

This study seeks to examine a principal leadership style and its effects on teacher job

Great principals build a strong school community. One principal spent two to three hours each day observing teachers. He found that effective teachers did not mind having him provide feedback for improvement while the ineffective teachers objected the idea of having multiple observations. Principals can also improve teacher effectiveness by offering professional development opportunities.

In conclusion, doing all of these things the student will be successful in school and in life. When people are successful they will get a job easily and won't struggle in life. When people struggle in life they will not do well in life or in the mind. When going to a Christian school the student is more peaceful and successful when doing these thins. When students set goals for themselves they will be more excited to go to school and be successful. When struggling the person is not peaceful, they are stressing out about their

Principal leadership plays an important role in changing the ways low-performing teachers teach their students. Teachers have the influence to improve their students’ performance in the classroom. This must first start with the principal. If management in the school is disorganized, this could filter down to the teachers as well as the students. Communication with staff should not be inconsistent.

Moreover, it was clear that principals of high school level were more keen on supervising and monitoring than principals of intermediate schools of cycles one, two and three (Pashiardis, 2010). Pili (2014) too, suggested that both private and public schools should extend their managing behavior to participate in workshops and other school activities which bring them nearer to the student and results in providing clear monitoring and assessment for the students’ achievement.

I was raised as a catholic for a majority of my life but was completely unaware that Catholics were Christians too. This confusion and lack of religious knowledge is the norm in the United States. To combat this startling issue some have proposed we have religious education in our schools. Religion is a taboo issue and turns even more taboo when we involve children. Many oppose the teaching of region in our schools for the simple reason of separation of church and state. Another reason this is met with resistance would include all the reasons for which religion is frowned upon such as: crating division amongst people and misunderstandings. However, others argue that religious education is necessary in public schools due to the immense

The leadership style of school’s principals in U.S. elementary schools plays an indirect role in the academic success of students when is implicit a transformational approach in the principal’s behavior. I mentioned indirect impact, because the truly direct impact is toward the teachers, which, as a transitivity effect, impact as well the academic achievement of their students. The purpose of this paper is analyze the impact of transformational principals in teacher’s commitment and job satisfaction, and in consequence, their effect in the student’s success.

Extracurricular activities can teach busy teens necessary social skills and help them manage their time appropriately. It can also lead to scholarships and acquiring the discipline needed to succeed. However most schools require an average “C” grade to be able to participate in activities such as sports and clubs. This creates a lot controversy between the schools and parents. Many students are not being allowed to participate in extracurricular activities for having lower grades. It all depends on the school’s resources and the culture around it. There needs to be a balance so that students are able to participate. If students are denied, they can be involved in other outside activities that is not going to benefit them for good.

According to Eccles and Barber (1), research shows that students that participate in extracurricular activities have increased positive consequences than those that are not in activities. The students involved in activities are least likely to drop out of school and have higher college attendance. Students are less prone to be involved in criminal activities and substance abuse. Being involved in an activity allows students to have more engagement in school which leads to a higher GPA and educational aspirations. These things great a young respectable adult and set them to have a bright future. The research also talks about how sports does not have a decline of delinquent activities compared to other participations. Eccles and Barber used research that examined different activities such as team sports, performing arts prosocial, school involvement, and academic clubs. The research followed about 1,800 students from their sixth-grade year till they were in their mid 20's. Focusing on performing arts because that's where marching band falls into place. According to the research, were least likely to be involved in risky behavior and have greater liking for school. Students participating in performing arts also have a stronger possibility to

Some of my first memories and friends were from my Sunday school class at church. Religion consumed my entire childhood. I had core Christian values instilled in my mind from the very beginning. Traditional family values are largely influenced by religion and have roles in child rearing (Denton, 2004). This was extremely evident in my upbringing. I attended a private Christian school from preschool to the end of eighth grade. A quarter of all schools in the United States are private schools and about 68 percent of them are religious schools (Anderson et alt., 2015). Every little topic that was taught was related back to a Christian core value. The school itself lacked individualism, forcing students to wear uniforms, making sure the students were groomed to their standards and not allowing outside opinions inside the class room. Religious schools expect the same uniformity in the students values no matter background that they came from. These private schools

“The highly effective principal is a Communicator – a genuine and open human being with the capacity to listen, empathize, interact, and connect with individual students, parents, and teachers in productive, helping, and healthy ways, as well as the ability to teach, present, and motivate people in larger group settings” (McEwan, 3).

School principals practicing instructional leadership model plays a significant role in everyday’s life of an organization. They are usually responsible for the organizational aspects of an educational institution such as monitoring, managing, instructing, controlling, communicating which indirectly affect students’ learning. In fact, researchers have found that there was not a direct connection between the principals’ instructional leadership and students’ academic achievement (Bossert, Dwyer, Rowan, & Lee,1982; Boyan, 1988; Glasman & Heck, 1987; Larsen 1985,1987; Pitner, 1988). School principals, rather, have influence on students through the governance structure (Talbert, 1985). To be precise, they make a difference in students’ learning process by constructing school goals, placing high achievement expectations, distributing resources, supervising curriculum, monitoring student progress, promoting inclusive learning atmosphere (Heck, Larsen & Marcoulides, 1990). Of course, the quality of the performance of these activities mainly determines the success of the school.

Before discussing the importance of understanding the need for ethical and/or moral leadership, it is important to present the development of the role of school principals and its eventual need for the inclusion of ethics and moral into school leadership. The role and professional position of the school principal began to be shaped during the early 19th century with the development of “head teacher” (Brown, 2011). Next, at the turn of the 20th century, the position of school principal began to gain both stature and authority (Sullivan and Glanz, 2013). Indeed, with the formation of the National Association of Secondary Principals (NASSP) in 1916 and the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) in 1921, the proclamation by administrators to be seen as professionals became evident (Brown, 2011). In short, the establishment of the principalship as a separate entity from teachers was firmly established at the turn of the 20th century.
