Abstract

The purpose of this capstone is to illustrate possible relationships between student achievement and administrative leadership styles. The study utilizes a method of qualitative research called, “Portraiture.” This capstone brings to the forefront, the leadership styles of three fictionalized subjects. Although the characters are fictionalized, they represent factual observations I have made of various leaders over my nineteen-year career as an educator. The benefits of this study lie in the implication that positive, proactive, instructional leaders who keep all stakeholders in mind when running a building, will produce better standardized test results than leaders who do not display positive administrative leadership characteristics.
