Abstract Details

2024, Doctor of Education (Educational Leadership), Youngstown State University, Department of Teacher Education and Leadership Studies.
School reform has long been a challenge in public education, with limited focus on the leadership qualities essential for successful reform implementation. This dissertation examined the role and impact of transformational leadership in navigating educational reform efforts within Ohio's school districts. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive study, it focused on the experiences and strategies of long-standing school district leaders. Participants included a diverse group of school leaders who have been instrumental in implementing reform initiatives. Through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, the study uncovered how these leaders describe and implement mandated reform efforts, highlighting the challenges and successes encountered. Results reveal key strategies for effective change management, emphasizing the importance of visionary leadership and community engagement. The conclusions drawn from this research offer valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and future leaders in education reform.
