Exploring the Valuation of Assessment Methods by Teachers, Teacher Leaders, and Leaders: An Analysis of Values Alignment and Educator Perceptions
Tiffany M. Shimmel
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Lehigh University
Agreement between stakeholders in a school change initiative can positively impact its success (Branson, 2008; Donnell & Gettinger, 2015); however, agreement has been largely unexplored within the context of a change initiative and its stakeholders. The current study analyzed the agreement between three key stakeholders in a change initiative: teachers, teacher leaders, and leaders. This study is a single school design and the participating school includes stakeholders who have been involved in a long-term assessment improvement initiative. This study used Kendall's W and a series of Kruskal-Wallis tests to determine that teachers, teacher leaders, and leaders agree on the value of nine different assessment methods with only a few exceptions. These analyses also indicated that teacher leaders agree slightly more with the leader group than the teacher group. This study used a hierarchical multiple regression to determine that a very weak relationship exists between a teacher's level of agreement with their leaders and a teacher's perception of the current assessment initiative's progress. Implications for school leaders and future studies in this line of inquiry are also discussed based on these findings.
