Educational Leadership transformational leaders transformative leadership superintendents district or system leadership mixed methods case study, transformative democratic leadership For decades, policymakers and the public have demanded dramatic improvement in urban education evidenced primarily by the performance of students, particularly those who are socially and economically disadvantaged. Generally, the public has been disappointed. While there are many reasons, one has to do with the ability of leadership to bring about the expected change. This study examined how one deputy superintendent, identified as a transformational leader, in an urban school district facilitates change management to influence the school community in and through district-wide improvement efforts. A mixed methods case study design was conducted to more fully understand the distinct leadership practices of the focal administrator that drive system wide improvement. This study sought to gain a deeper understanding of how this district level educational leader uses transformative leadership practices and democratic principles to help drive sustainable system level change. In doing so, it sought to discover several factors behind the change. This included the conditions, both institutional and personal, that led to the leaders’ awareness of the need to advance, the specific practices that were undertaken to advance, including an embrace of democratic leadership practices, the institutional and community challenges to this evolution in leadership approach and the nature of the results achieved through transformative democratic leadership compared to those achieved through transformational and/or transformative leadership practices alone. 2019-06-11 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1554374179066126 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1554374179066126 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
