Specific strategies used by the administrators are described. These strategies are associated with a concept of leadership termed “transformational”. Related articles View all related articles.

Transformational Leadership

Transformative leaders engage in reflective processes that enable self-evaluation of personal values, beliefs, and experiences, and they intentionally promote the conditions and experiences for transformation in their staff. This includes nurturing the voices of others and building their capacity to take leadership in the school community. Leaders have developed the ability to interrupt inequitable practice, to use inquiry as a lens for equity , to show courage and persistence, to develop social and emotional intelligences among staff and students, to learn from diverse forms of knowledge and experience, and to examine individual and institutional culture as it relates to equity and anti-bias.
