Educational Leadership transformational leadership superintendent principal urban Superintendents and principals are the parties that carry the responsibility of effective leadership practices in today’s schools (Razik & Swanson, 2010; Fullan, 2001; Fullan; 2005; Kowalski, 2006; Leithwood & Jantzi, 2000). In order to determine the practices, behaviors, and characteristics of effective leadership that lead to the ultimate goal of student achievement, researchers continue to study leadership practices. One model of effective leadership practices is transformational leadership which unites the leader and follower in a common, organizational goal which is supported by the characteristics of trust, empowerment, vision, and charisma (Carlson, 1996; Leithwood & Jantzi, 2000; Razik & Swanson, 2010; Yukl, 2010). The purpose of this study was to uncover how the interaction of two important leaders, the superintendent and the elementary principal, influence the leadership practices for both parties. For this qualitative study, three urban, elementary principals and three urban superintendents were interviewed about their leadership practices. Additionally, participants provided archival documents that represented superintendent-principal interactions. Through the analysis, four different themes were common to the superintendents and principals including leadership practices, urban contexts, transformational leadership behaviors, and superintendent-principal interactions. 2012-10-26 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1337717600 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1337717600 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
