The main purpose of this study was to examine the combined effects of collective teacher and student academic optimism on student achievement for one of the largest and most complex school districts in the United States. Employing structural equation modeling, it was theorized that teacher and student academic optimism might come together to form a third latent construct, which the author called combined academic optimism. A sample of 15,625 teachers and 222,424 students was surveyed, representing a total of 356 K-12 schools, to measure the manifest variables that defined both teacher and student academic optimism. The analysis of the results not only revealed that the total effect of combined academic optimism on student achievement was greater than the direct effects of teacher and student academic optimism individually but was also strong enough to counter the negative effect of low SES. This investigation makes a particular contribution to the literature by focusing on the dynamic of the relationship between teachers and students through human motivation as an essential condition for improving student academic achievement. In addition, the findings of this study suggest specific recommendations on how to cultivate academic optimism in teachers and students which might, in turn, result in an overall improvement of student academic performance in the target school district. Indeed, further research is needed to confirm if the proposed theoretical model of this investigation maintains its fidelity using data from diverse settings.
