Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the outcomes of implementing the practice of leader rounding at Ferry Pass Middle School. Specifically, this study focused on how certain leader actions influenced staff's satisfaction with their work environment and parents' satisfaction with their child's education. The teachers' perceptions of principals applying leader rounding were also determined. In this study, the leader rounding process was implemented in the spring semester of 2010. Survey instruments were administered to 887 families and 85 staff members at Ferry Pass Middle School to determine staff and parent satisfaction. In addition, two focus group sessions were conducted to gain teachers' perceptions about the leader rounding process. The findings indicate that the actions included in the leader rounding process positively influenced staff's perceptions about their work environment. Data from focus groups indicate that leader rounding made a positive impact on morale and opened up lines of communication. Ferry Pass Middle School is a better place to work for employees. Staff members see the benefits of leader rounding and would like the process to continue.
