Transformative Leadership: A Primer both delivers a complete and
engaging overview of transformative leadership and also clearly
distinguishes it from other popular approaches to leadership.
Hence, this will be the text of choice for many graduate courses in
educational leadership. Carolyn M. Shields shows how the tenets of
transformative leadership interact with one another, and how they
provide a lens for leadership that offers an excellent, inclusive,
equitable, and socially just education for all students. Using
anecdotes and narratives drawn from empirical research, as well as
current data, Dr. Shields establishes how transformative leadership
comprises a comprehensive approach to leadership in highly diverse
contexts, and how it can empower students who are traditionally
marginalized due to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender
identity, home language, or religion. Accepting a mandate for
educational change, reconstructing knowledge frameworks, and
redistributing power in more equitable ways are starting points for
transformative leaders. Changing the structures, cultures,
curricula, and pedagogies of the school to be more democratic and
emancipatory; acknowledging our interconnectedness and
interdependence with global neighbors; and accepting responsibility
for promoting both public and private good are processes that
implement the transformation. Taken together, these changes cannot
be accomplished without considerable collaboration, conversation,
and moral courage. No leader wanting to promote excellence and
equity for all should be without this primer that offers a new way
of thinking about all aspects of schooling, from facilities and
fiscal issues to academic programs and school policy.
Transformative leadership offers a promising and robust theory of
change for all situations and contexts.
