Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the degree of practicing transformational leadership among special education principals from the teachers’ point of view. In order to achieve the objective of the study, the descriptive correlational approach is used. The study sample consisted of 190 male and female teachers who were chosen by the simple random method from the study population. The results shows that there are significant correlations between all dimensions of transformational leadership and crisis management. Results also indicate that ideal influence, inspirational motivation, individual considerations, intellectual stimulation, empowerment show high degree of practice. Moreover, results also indicate that pre-crisis stage, crisis stage, post-crisis stage show high degree of practice. The advancement of the school requires a pattern such as leadership, enthusiasm, and mobilizing the latent energies of the teachers in the school by influencing their behavior.
