Thank you. 1. When a teacher does better than usual, many times it is because I exerted a little extra effort. 1 2 3 4 5 6 2. The hours I spend working with teachers have little influence on teachers as compared to the influence of other teachers. 12 3 4 5 6 3. If my superintendent commented to me that teachers are more professional in my school than in other schools, It probably would be because I have some specific technique of managing their behavior which other principals may lack. 12 3 4 5 6 4. The degree that a teacher can change his/her behavior is primarily related to factors outside of the schools’ control. 12 3 4 5 6 5. 12 3 4 5 6 12 3 4 5 6 I have enough training to deal with almost any teacher. 12 3 4 5 6 . My administrative training program and experience have given me the necessary skills to be an effective administ.rator. 12 3 4 5 6 3 4 5 6 Some teachers need to be placed in lower grades or assigned lower levels or responsibilities so that they are not subjected to unrealistic expectations. 12 3 4 5 6 11. Individual differences among administrators account for the wide variation in student achievement. 12 3 4 5 6 12. When a teacher is having difficulty with a new teaching assignment, I am usually able to adjust my explanation of it to the teacher’s level. 12 3 4 5 6 If one of my new teachers cannot remain on task for a par­ ticular assignment, there is little I could do to increase his/her attention until the teacher is ready. 12 3 4 5 6 1 4 5 6 6 . If teachers are not self-disciplined they are not likely to accept any discipline from me. 7. 8 If a principal has adequate skills and motivation, he/she can get through to the most difficult teacher. 9. 10. 13. 14. Many administrators are stymied in their attempt to help teachers by lack of support from the community. When a teacher gets a better rating than usual it is because I found better ways of helping that teacher. 1 2 2 3 180 15. When I really try, I can get through to the most difficult of teachers. 12 3 4 5 6 16. An administrator is very limited in what he/she can achieve because the teacher’s peer group has a large influence on his/her performance. 12 3 4 5 6 17. Principals are not a very powerful influence on teacher behavior when all factors are considered. 12 3 4 5 6 18. If teachers are especially upset one day, I ask myself " what I have been doing differently. 12 3 4 5 6 19. When the achievement levels 1n the school Improve, it is usually because I found more effective principal/staff approaches. 12 3 4 5 6 20. If my superintendent suggested that I change some of my school curriculum, I would feel confident that I have the necessary skills to Implement the unfamiliar curriculum. 12 3 4 5 6 12 3 4 5 6 21. 22. 23. 24. If a teacher masters a new teaching technique quickly, this might be because I knew the necessary steps 1n teaching that technique. Teacher conferences can help a principal judge how much to expect from a teacher by giving the principal an idea of the teacher’s values toward education, discipline, etc. If teachers would attend workshops and take courses, I could do more. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 If a teacher did not remember Information I gave in a previous meeting, I would know how to increase his/her retention in the next meeting. 12 3 4 5 6 If a teacher in my school becomes disruptive, I feel assured that I know some techniques to redirect him/her quickly. 12 3 4 5 6 26. District, school board, and union rules/policies hinder my doing the job I was hired to do. 12 3 4 5 6 27. The influence ofpeer pressure and external policies can be overcome by good administrator practice. 12 3 4 5 6 28. When a teacher progresses after being reassigned to my building, 1t 1s usually because I have had the chance to give him/her extra attention. 12 3 4 5 If one of my teachers could not perform a teaching assign­ ment, I would be able to accurately assess whether the assignment was an appropriate one for him/her. 12 3 4 5 6 Even a principal with good administrative abilities may not reach many teachers. 12 3 4 5 6 25. 29. 30.
