By way of item and factor analysis, the revised questionnaire was conducted for survey. Subjects were 800 teachers in 90 schools, The statistic procedures included the means, standard deviation and one-way ANOVA, MONOVA, Besides, Pearson correlation, canonical correlation, & multivariate linear regression analysis were applied in the research to comprehend interrelations as well as predictions among the three aspects of SBDM, transformational leadership and school effectiveness. Then constructing an integrated model with path analysis, finally examining it with LISREL. The main findings can be shown as follows: Totally, the SBDM, transformational leadership and school effectiveness were fairly good. There are significant differences between different independent variables for SBDM, transformational leadership and school effectiveness.
