Transformational Leadership

Abstract

Transformational leadership has transitioned into a dominant strategic framework to enhance leadership roles in education. This chapter will examine the correlation between teacher transformational leadership in the classroom and the significant effectiveness this does have to shift the traditional teacher-centred approach to learning in the classroom. Transformational leadership employed in the classroom combined with inquiry-based learning can enhance students' critical thinking skills to shape their lives and their roles in the world. Through transformational leadership, teachers can hone their leadership skills, while understanding the value of equipping students with the skills to become activity participants in the learning process. That is empowerment of students.
