    The principal conducted a needs assessment survey of teachers to identify areas for professional development. The survey results showed that teachers felt well informed of expectations but identified areas of low student motivation and classroom management that need improvement. Specifically, survey results showed lower scores related to an orderly learning environment and students neglecting homework, trying to improve work, and seeking extra work. To address this, the principal recommends providing professional development for teachers on best practices for raising student motivation and engagement. A student survey would also be administered to understand reasons for low motivation from the student perspective.

    Standard C: Professional Learning and Growth

    g: Conduct a needs assessment of staff to identify professional staff


    development needs for the next school year Develop a set of recommendations for
    the next school year based on that survey; be sure to align it to curriculum
    implementations and the school improvement plan.
    The Data
    To assess the climate of my school, I administered the Organizational Health
    Inventory Elementary (OHI-E) that was created by Wayne K. Hoy (Hoy, W.K., 2003).
    The survey was distributed to certified teachers throughout the building. I received
    over half of the surveys back completed. This survey consists of 37 questions that
    are divided into four categories: Instructional Integrity, Collegial Leadership,
    Resource Influence, Teacher Affiliation, and Academic Emphasis. Teachers selected
    from a scale of 1 to 4 with 1 being rarely occurs and 4 being frequently occurs.
    One of the higher questions was The principal lets faculty know what is
    expected of them, which received a mean score of 3.43. This shows that teachers
    understand the expectations for the classroom including academics and curriculum,
    and the principal is maintaining a sense of consistency across the school. Another
    high area was in regards to materials being available for instruction with a mean of
    3.21. These higher areas show that teachers know what they are to teach and they
    feel prepared to teach it.

    15. The principal lets faculty know what is expected of them.


    5. Extra materials are available if requested.
    7. Students are cooperative during classroom instruction.
    16. Teachers receive necessary classroom supplies.

    The lower ranking scores pointed to poor student motivation and classroom
    management. Teacher scores showed a mean of 2.93 in response to The learning
    environment is orderly and serious. In order for students to learn in the classroom,
    this must be improved. The three lowest scores on the assessment were pointed at
    student motivation such as, Students neglect to complete homework (2.57),
    Students try hard to improve on previous work (2.43), and Students seek extra
    work so they can get good grades (1.50).

    33. The learning environment is orderly and serious.


    18. Students respect others who get good grades.
    6. Students neglect to complete homework.
    31. Students try hard to improve on previous work.
    24. Students seek extra work so they can get good grades.

    Recommendations for the Next School Year


    Our school currently is implementing some changes to improve the student
    motivation. The school motto this year is to Reach for the stars. Students know
    this motto, and each week a student from each classroom is nominated by the
    teachers and awarded a certificate as Star Student. Also, at the quarterly award
    ceremonies, students are awarded a hat for high achievement, character, or
    improvement. They can earn star patches to add to their hat for each award they
    earn. Throughout the year, the students are allowed to wear their hats on certain
    days to show off their hard work.
    These things are helping with student motivation, but I feel that it would be
    an additional boost to offer a couple professional developments through faculty

    meetings to discuss best practices for raising student motivation in the classroom.
    Teachers need to be using teaching strategies that keep students highly engaged,
    learning hands on, and problem solving to raise student motivation each day.
    In addition, since the topic is student motivation, I would use a student
    questionnaire to allow students to answer questions about the school environment
    to gain a better understanding of why students are unmotivated. The results could
    show that students are bored, overwhelmed, craving more technology, etc. By
    focusing on the student motivation and better preparing teachers to keep students
    engaged, I believe that will help improve the management in the classroom.
