Research has established a relationship between the organisational commitment of teachers and some key teaching-career related variables. However, there has not been any exploration of organisational commitment in Eastern Caribbean schools. Using a cross-sectional research design, we surveyed a sample of 158 teachers to investigate relationships between organisational commitment and selected variables (i.e., career advancement opportunities, principal leadership style, teaching experience, and training).

Research overwhelmingly shows that parental involvement in their children's learning positively affects the child's academic performance. My goal as the principal of an inner-city primary school is to provide leadership in the creation of a positive learning environment through the involvement of parents in the educational enterprise. It is with this goal in mind that I undertook this qualitative case study to examine the experiences of six inner-city parents and their practices concerning their involvement in their children's education.
