Abstract
This study was based on data from the 2008 Take20: Alabama Teaching and Learning Conditions Survey and focused on a comparison of teachers' perceptions of how school principals exercise their role in both highβ and lowβperforming elementary and middle schools that serve highβpoverty student populations. Teachers in the highβperforming schools consistently viewed their principals' behavior more positively than did their counterparts in the lowerβperforming schools. Teachers reported less difference in regard to engaging the community to create shared responsibility for student and school success. Very little difference existed in the principal's involvement of teachers in key school decisions; neither population of principals scored high in this area.
