Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to determine which predominant principal leadership
behaviors in the studied district were associated with higher levels of teacher engagement. As a
result of this research, specific leadership behaviors were identified to develop a leader
framework to promote high yield leadership behaviors for all principals in the district.
This study was designed to analyze each campus principal's leadership behaviors and
how each principal's most prevalent behaviors align with either a higher or lower overall campus
teacher engagement score. The leadership behaviors analyzed were aligned with four leadership
styles, transactional, transformational, instructional, and shared. The leadership behaviors
analyzed in this study were used to define the predominant leadership styles of each principal.
If specific leadership behaviors can be articulated as having a more positive relationship
with teacher engagement, thus improving student achievement, the district will be able to
develop a specific leader framework with clear behavior expectations for campus principals.
