Item The Effects of Teacher Leadership on Teacher Satisfaction in a Small Urban Charter School(2015-05) Harper, Kia J.The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of providing teacher leadership opportunities in a small urban charter school on teacher satisfaction. The study was conducted from October 2014 to March 2015 during which time teacher leadership opportunities were offered school wide to teachers who had been employed at the school for at least one year. The results indicate that providing teacher leadership opportunities had no significant effect on teacher satisfaction. All teachers reported an increased level of teacher leadership and satisfaction in certain areas of the school, but that did not change the level of satisfaction with teaching overall.Item The Relationship Between Providing Teachers With A Supportive Environment and Teacher Satisfaction(2014-07) Wess, Kathryn; Masters of EducationThe purpose of this study was to determine the impact of providing teachers in a special education department in the high school setting with a supportive environment on teacher satisfaction. The study was conducted from January 2014 to June 2014 during which time a supportive environment was implemented via the department chair. The results indicate that providing a supportive environment had no significant effect on teacher satisfaction. All teachers reported an increased number of interactions and level of satisfaction with the Department Chair, but that did not change the level of satisfaction with teaching overall. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that teacher satisfaction is not solely impacted by the provision of a supportive environment.
