Abstract

The study examined school climate as a determinant of teachers’ effectiveness in Ekiti State Secondary Schools. It was a survey research. Three hundred teachers were randomly sampled from six secondary schools in the three senatorial districts that make up Ekiti State. The respondents were given copies of questionnaires tagged “School Climate and Teacher Effectiveness”. The data were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, means, standard deviation, t-test statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Findings of the study found the controlled school climate as the predominant climate in schools. It was also found out in the study that  the level of teachers’ effectiveness was low and that, there was significant relationship between school climate and teachers’ effectiveness; and also, a significant difference was found between teachers effectiveness in schools having open climate and schools having controlled climate. It was therefore recommended based on the findings that conducive climate which can enhance teachers’ effectiveness should be provided in schools by all the stakeholders in education.
