 Transformational leaders focus on “transforming” others to support each other and the organization as a whole. Followers of a transformational leader respond by feeling trust, admiration, loyalty, and respect for the leader and are more willing to work harder than originally expected. Another researcher, Bernard M.Mar 18, 2010

Transformational leadership is a theory of leadership where a leader works with teams to identify needed change, creating a vision to guide the change through inspiration, and executing the change in tandem with committed members of a group; it is an integral part of the Full Range Leadership Model.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki

Transformational leadership will improve schools, change teachers' classroom practicies, enhances quality of teaching, student learning and achievement and student engagement as learning outcome. According to many authors, transformational approach proved to be very useful for educational organization.

STUDENT LEARNING -THE FEATURES OF LEARNING CURRICULUMS BUILT ON A "LESS RESTRICTING" - IDEOLOGY THAT SURPASSES LOCAL BARRIERS. BUILDING A TEAM.

Cultural competence is a key factor in enabling educators to be effective with students from cultures other than their own. Cultural competence is having an awareness of one’s own cultural identity and views and having the ability to learn and build on the varying cultural and community norms of students and their families. It is the ability to understand the differences that make each student unique while celebrating the variations that make our country a tapestry. This understanding informs and expands teaching practices as educators work towards having culturally competent learning environments. The goal is to eliminate academic gaps between cultural groups.

Least restrictive environment (LRE): What you need to know Amanda Morin By Amanda Morin At a Glance Least restrictive environment (LRE) isn’t a place; it’s a principle that guides your child’s educational program. Special education law says your child should be learning with peers. When LRE comes up, so do the words mainstreaming and inclusion. When your child’s (IEP) team meets, it talks about many things. That includes your child’s areas of strength, areas of weakness and present level of performance . The team also talks about the “least restrictive environment,” or LRE, for your child’s education. The word “environment” makes LRE sound like a place. But it actually is more about your child’s educational program. Where your child learns is only one piece of the program. Least restrictive environment (LRE) LRE is part of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). IDEA says that children who receive should learn in the least restrictive environment. This means they should spend as much time as possible with peers who do not receive special education. IDEA says two things about LRE that are important to understand when working with the IEP team: Your child should be with kids in general education to the “maximum extent that is appropriate.” Special classes, separate schools, or removal from the general education class should only happen when your child’s learning or thinking difference — a “disability” under IDEA — is so severe that supplementary aids and services can’t provide your child with an appropriate education. A key word here is appropriate. It refers to what’s suitable or right for your child. Sometimes, putting a child in a general education classroom isn’t suitable because a specific service or program can’t be provided there. Mainstreaming and inclusion When LRE comes up, so do the words mainstreaming and inclusion. Many people think these terms mean the same thing, but they’re slightly different. A mainstream classroom is a general education classroom. Mainstreaming means putting your child with special education needs in the general education classroom for some or most of the day. Your child may also have some instruction in a special education classroom.
