Research literature suggests that school leadership matters, and that their influence on student achievement is typically observed through indirect means. Following suit, the purpose
of this study was to gain an understanding of school leadership behaviors' association with school trust and teacher job satisfaction, in an effort to maximize student achievement. Using
varying survey data from Chicago Public Schools, I perform a series of linear regression analyses to explore these relationships: First, the relationship school leadership has with school
trust and teacher job satisfaction is investigated. Second, the association school trust and teacher job satisfaction has on student achievement. Finally, the magnitudes of the relationships
school trust and teacher job satisfaction have on student achievement are compared. The results reveal that school leadership behavior has a relationship with school trust and teacher job
satisfaction, but that school trust and teacher job satisfaction do not have clear relationships with student achievement. The study suggests that further investigation is conducted on the
relationship school trust and teacher job satisfaction have on student achievement. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of
