This quantitative correlational study explored the unknown relationship between staff interactions, the feedback environment, staff development, and overall school climate, impacting instructional delivery and learning every day within one school in the eastern United States. The pervasive nature of school climate and its effect on student learning and achievement served as the impetus and construct from which this study was designed. Through archival data, the three school-year study drew on all staff participants' responses at the same elementary school. Staff members were deemed eligible to participate in the annual climate survey if they worked at the school during the survey administration time. After using a MANOVA to measure differences between groups, Pearson's product-moment correlation, and a t-test in a pretest/post-test fashion, the study's results varied. Although differences between groups of respondents were found when responding to questions about staff interactions, the feedback environment, and overall school climate, correlational connections could not be established between these same subjects. Likewise, t-test results using discipline data as a measure of staff development efficacy over the three-year period determined no statistically significant results despite efforts to reduce student discipline issues through improved student engagement and classroom management via concentrated staff development in these two areas. Although this study could not define the relationship between the study's climate determinants, general data trends over the study period demonstrated some relationship exists between them. Broadening the study's scope, developing a survey instrument built to measure the topics under study accurately, and using a mixed-method approach asking open-ended questions could yield more definitive results.
