Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not the intervention All Arrows Pointing Up ( AAPU) would cause a significant change in the attitudes/morale of a group of educators to whom the AAPU was administered. Methodology. The subjects in this research comprised of 96 school teachers, representing 4 elementary schools in the Clovis Unified School District. The research examined the population of educators in order to gather specific information about school employees' sense of climate at their school sites. Two schools comprised a control group and the other 2 sites comprised the treatment group. A pre-test/survey was given to both groups. Following the subsequent administering of the AAPU to the treatment group, the survey was given to the two groups again, as a means to determine a significant change in the treatment group. Findings. After reviewing the results of the experimental study AAPU, several areas of teacher attitude was favorably altered by the study's treatment theme: All Arrows Pointing Up. Results of this study, AAPU, indicate several areas of significant change in teacher attitudes. Conclusions. The statistical analysis revealed that after the treatment group received the AAPU treatment, they had a significant change in attitude regarding school safety. It can be concluded that the educators that received and practiced the AAPU treatment paid closer attention to school environment for students and staff, their relationship with their colleagues improved significantly, and realized improved support from their principal regarding discipline issues. Recommendations. Because this is such a critical concern within school reform and improvement, it is recommended that further study be initiated to increase the awareness and understanding of similar treatment affects. A duplication of the study may involve the incorporation of more schools, different socio-economic communities, or other diverse communities. It is recommended that future AAPU treatment presenters consider offering the treatment to school educators at the beginning of the fall semester. It is possible, that subsequent to a summer vacation, educators may be rejuvenated, rested, and therefore, possibly even more receptive to the treatment—and follow through more aggressively in applying the treatment.
