The purpose of the study is to investigate the actual and desired levels of shared decision making in public schools in Çankaya district of Ankara, Turkey. The sample of this study consisted of 372 teachers from 10 public basic schools and secondary schools in Çankaya district of Ankara. Shared Education Decisions Survey- Revised by Prof. Dr. Donna Ferrara was used to collect data. The results of the study showed that the teachers working in public schools of Çankaya district sometimes participate in the decision making process. The level of participation increases about the parental involvement, pupil personnel and student achievement issues. However, it is understood that teachers rarely participate in the decisions relating to budget, school/community relations, staff development and policy issues. On the other hand, when the results of the study are considered, it is apparent that teachers in public schools in Çankaya district always desire to participate in the decision making processes in their schools. The parental involvement, student achievement, pupil personnel and curriculum/ instruction areas, which are directly related to teaching, are the areas teachers most desire to participate in. Keywords: Shared decision making, participation, participative decision making, public education institutions, teacher participation.
