Problem Statement


Topic: Administrative Teacher Relationship

Problem Statement-
            Standardized test scores among students in grades 4-5 are decreasing. Studies show that there are multiple components, including administrative relationships, that lead to teacher burnout (Alvarez, 2008). Teacher burnout has an impact on how well the teacher performs in the classroom.  The purpose of this dissertation is to determine that there is a relationship between administrative teacher relationship and students’ performance on standardized test.
