Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Education (Ed.D.), University of Findlay, Education.
While many studies exist on the impact of parenting discipline styles, few exist in the area of school administrator discipline styles. This study investigated if school administrator discipline styles impact middle school students’ standardized test scores and school climate from the middle school teachers’ perspective. Participants included 239 teachers from 21 middle schools. Grade 6-8 Language Arts and math state standardized test passage percentage results were analyzed and the Delaware School Climate Survey was conducted with teachers through an online format. Results indicate no significant difference between school administrator’s discipline style and students’ standardized test scores. A significant difference was found between school administrator’s discipline style and school climate. The authoritative discipline style positively impacts schools. School leaders should work to implement this school discipline style over authoritarian, permissive, and disengaged discipline styles.
