Overview

With the advent of multiculturalism, Canadian schools are quite diverse. Teachers, parents and students differ in race, culture, ability, gender, sexual orientation and social class. Parents have varying concerns about the inability of some principals to structure schools to meet the specific needs of all students, to prepare them to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century and beyond. As a result some parents are losing faith in our schools. Transformational Leadership: Taking Responsibility for Successful Schools, is a call to action. It offers a fresh perspective on how to lead people so that they can view their work as a calling rather than merely a job, a place to belong, rather than a place to work. It shows how to infuse meaning into work and how to engage and energize your staff. Transformational Leadership: Taking Responsibility for Successful Schools, speaks to all these concerns and offers a fresh perspective on the art of leadership. It illustrates an empowered approach to leadership that is: - TIMELESS: Applicable not only in the twenty-first century but beyond. - CHALLENGING: It calls principals and teachers to give their best. - REFLECTIVE: It forces principals and teachers to find ways of making schools more effective and provides some ideas for principals to take responsibility for their schools so that students will excel to their potential and parents will maintain confidence in their schools.
