Research
The researchers analyzed Chicago Public Schools from 1991-
1997 to “examine the link between relational trust in school
communities and the likelihood of organizational
improvements that culminate in increased student learning.”

regarding Relational
Trust
Organizational Effects
• Relational trust reduces the sense of vulnerability related to new and uncertain tasks, increasing classroom innovation.
• Relational trust facilitates public problem-solving within an organization.
• Relational trust undergirds and supports organizational norms of continuous improvement and collaboration.
• Relational trust creates a “moral resource” for sustained adult effort.
Conclusions
• Schools reporting strong relational trust levels in 1994
were three times more likely to eventually improve in
reading and math than those with very weak trust reports.
• By 1997, schools with strong relational trust reports had a
one in two chance of being in the improving group vs. a
one in seven chance for schools with very weak
relational trust reports.
Perhaps Most Significantly...
Schools with weak relational trust levels in 1994
and 1997 had virtually no chance of
showing improvement in either reading or
mathematics.
Presence of relational trust was more predictive of improvement than...• School size
• Teacher educational/professional background
• Percentage of new teachers
• Average years of teaching experience
• Racial & ethnic composition of student body
• Poverty levels
• Stability of student body
• Prior school achievement
