EMPOWERING EDUCATORS: PRE-INTERVENTION ANALYSIS OF LEADERSHIP, CULTURE, AND WELL-BEING IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN

Abstract

This study presents the preliminary results from before we implemented a new framework designed to improve school culture, leadership, and well-being in order to increase teacher empowerment.  We used a comprehensive questionnaire with 32 items on leadership, 30 on culture, and 40 on well-being to poll secondary school teachers.  Prior to the program's real debut, we established a starting point by examining fundamental statistics, reliability scores, and general trends.  Overall, the results indicated a respectable school culture; nevertheless, leadership judgements were somewhat weaker, and well-being varied in terms of emotional, physical, social, and spiritual dimensions.  These insights provide us with a strong starting point to direct the training period and then assess actual changes.
