The research is based upon data gathered from teachers (n=372) in schools (n=18) within a Charter School System (CSS) in the southern United States.

The findings revealed that teachers at the Charter Schools have a positive perception of the school culture within their respective schools. Teachers particularly favored professional development opportunities and collegial support in their respected schools. School size, grade span, and years of operation did not make significant differences in CSS’s school culture except collegial support. Collegial support scores for the K-12 school was significantly higher than the 9-12 schools.Alpaslan SahinMeredith Takahashi Aziz KoyuncuFoxton Booksarticlecharter schoolsschool climateschool cultureteacher perceptionEducationLENThe European Educational Researcher, Vol 3, Iss 1, Pp 1-19 (2020)
