Zigarelli, Michael A.
Journal of Educational Research, v90 n2 p103-10 Nov-Dec 1996
Using National Educational Longitudinal Study data for 1988, 1990, and 1992, this study assessed the effects of six effective schools variables on student achievement level. Regression analysis of the data indicated that the most important effective schools characteristics are an achievement-oriented school culture, principal's autonomy in hiring and firing teachers, and high teacher morale.
