School climate and culture, and its relevance to student achievement has traditionally been a topic of discussion among educators. There have been many research studies dedicated to determining if a school's culture and climate had an effect on student achievement. This study sought to determine if teachers' perceptions of school culture and climate had an impact on student achievement at the elementary and secondary level. In 1963, Halpin and Croft began their research on the organizational climate of schools and suggested that further research be conducted based on their findings. This research sought to determine if there was a relationship between teachers' perceptions of school culture and climate and students' marking period/trimester 1 grades, teachers' perceptions of school culture and climate and students' Start Strong scores, and teachers' perceptions of school culture and climate and school leadership. The New Jersey School Climate Survey was distributed to teachers in four small school districts in Warren County, NJ. Survey data was collected from a total of 62 respondents, and academic data was provided to the researcher on coded spreadsheets. Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation tests and independent sample t-tests through the use of the SPSS program in order to determine if any potential relationships existed. The data revealed that teachers' perceptions of school culture and climate did not have an impact on student achievement. Additionally, there were a number of relationships that existed with regard to teachers' perceptions of culture and climate and school leadership. The results indicated that the high school respondents answered less favorably compared to the elementary school respondents on the school leadership survey questions. This study may help school leaders have constructive conversations with their staff with regard to the school's culture and climate.(ProQuest abstract).

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to contribute to the understanding about specific school culture components relating to effective school criteria (ESC) in order to improve student achievement in Florida. The unit of analysis was at the school level, and the sample included 4 elementary and 4 middle schools from small rural school districts in the Florida Panhandle. The study investigated the presence of ESC and the assigned school grade that implies effectiveness. The Quality School Assessment Instrument (QSAI) survey measured the presence of the ESC. To investigate the relationship, the QSAI score was compared to the school accountability score that equates to the school grade. A Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient of 0.93, p = 0.001 indicates a statistically significant positive correlation. This study also investigated the organizational structures of schools related to ESC measured with the School Culture Survey (SCS). Data to support the notion of the interdependency of the ESC and the way in which the school is organized to support the criteria are key concepts in utilizing the ESC for school improvement. The QSAI data compared to the SCS data generated a significant positive correlation as evidenced by the Pearson r of 0.94, p = 0.0006. A third analysis compared the QSAI data of the 4 schools deemed high performing to the 4 low performing schools in the sample utilizing a t test. The results indicate a statistically significant difference in the mean QSAI scores of the 2 groups: t(398) = 28.27, p

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of teacher morale and school culture on student achievement. The setting for this research was a high school in a small, semi- urban school district in the Piedmont of North Carolina. For the purpose of this study, teacher morale and school culture were based on the opinion of English II and biology teachers at the study site. The study’s methodology included surveying English II and biology teachers on teacher morale and school culture. To measure teacher morale, the Purdue Teacher Opinionnaire was given to each participant. To measure the school’s culture, the School Culture Survey was given to each participant. A focus group was held to examine the results of teacher morale and school culture and to further exam the survey results. To measure student achievement, End-of-Course (EOC) exams scores for English II and biology were examined. Results from each participant’s two surveys on morale and school culture were analyzed with their students’ achievement data on the EOC exams. Data results on teacher morale reflected low teacher morale for each participant except one. Data results on school culture revealed positive school culture for all participants except one. Student achievement data for both English II and biology reflected scores above mastery for all participants except one. Correlations ran on teacher morale and student achievement as well as on school culture and student achievement revealed a positive correlation for both; however, neither correlation proved to be statistically significant.

This quantitative study focused on 760 Kentucky middle school teachers in 28 school districts across the state of Kentucky. The Pearson r was used to determine the relationship between the following variables identified in the study: (a) school culture as measured by the School Culture Triage Survey combined scores, (b) job satisfaction of teachers as measured by the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) scores, (c) student achievement scores as measured by the Commonwealth Assessment Testing Score (CATS) accountability index for each school, and (d) student attendance rates. This study utilized correlation analysis to answer questions one through six and multiple regression to answer the seventh research question. The research questions were: (a) Is there a relationship between School Culture Triage Survey scores and Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form scores?; (b) Is there a relationship between School Culture Triage Survey scores and Commonwealth Accountability Testing scores?; (c) Is there a relationship between the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form scores and the Commonwealth Accountability Testing scores?; (d) Is there a relationship between attendance and Commonwealth Accountability Testing scores?; (e) Is there a relationship between School Culture Triage Survey scores and attendance rates?; and (f) Is there a relationship between Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form scores and attendance? The results of the Pearson r showed that there was a positive correlation between the SCTS and MSQ scores, the variables of the School Culture Triage Survey scores and the Commonwealth Accountability Testing scores, as well as, a positive relationship between attendance and CATS. No other positive correlations were found. Notably, in Model 1 of a multiple regression analysis School Culture Triage Scores were a significant predictor of CATS scores. However, once attendance and teacher job satisfaction scores were added the in Model 2 of the regression analysis the researcher determined that the relationship between School Culture Triage Scores and CATS were spurious at best. The only variable which maintained a significant positive relationship was attendance. The present study seeks to contribute to the field and address gaps in the literature at the middle school level. Teacher job satisfaction was not a significant predictor of student achievement.

Schools spend a great deal of time, resources, and money seeking ways to both understand and increase student achievement on state standardized test that scores have become the customary measure of a school’s quality and success. Due to this narrow focus on standards and testing becoming more and more central in education, schools and teachers often do not implement the pedagogical strategies that work to increase student learning and thinking (Burke, 2010; Langer, 2001; Christenbury & Kelly, 1983; Nystrand, 1997; Wiggins & McTighe, 2005). In addition to a lack of focus on pedagogical practices, schools often ignore the impact culture has on both student achievement and teacher practice (Deal & Peterson, 2009). This study examines how culture and power structures within a school influence teacher practice. This year-long qualitative case study sought to answer the following questions: 1) What impact does a school’s culture have on teacher practice? 2) In what ways does classroom discourse position teachers and students as creators of knowledge? 3) How are reading and writing implemented to create environments where learning is valued? 4) How does the use of pedagogical labels allow teacher and schools to believe they are implementing effective practices? Through analysis of field notes and interviews, the research suggests that schools and teachers seeking to improve their educational outcomes examine honestly the practices in place and explore the impact that the school culture has on those practices. Findings suggest that for schools to succeed in improving their academic achievement both school and classroom culture need to value and have learning at the center.
