Teacher Response to Research-based Decision Making for Classroom Practices
This qualitative action research study examined teachers' perceptions of leadership, research-based practices, and experience. I investigated how these three factors influenced the culture and change process at one suburban high school in order to better understand the context and to ultimately use the knowledge gained to improve the culture and change process at the school. I interviewed five teachers and also collected data from various artifacts. The findings were used to open up dialogue with administration in the desire to bridge the current rift between teachers and administration. The findings indicate that the teachers want to participate in decision making, should be exposed to research early on in their undergraduate programs, should conduct their own action research studies, value their colleagues' experiences as well as the teaching experience of the administrators, and that open communication about the purpose of a new change might increase the acceptance of the change.
