What does transformational leadership actually require?

For Christine Baker, Principal of West Pensacola Elementary School in Escambia County, Florida, and a TRI Alum, it begins with being willing to move beyond what has traditionally been done, challenge existing beliefs and practices, and recognize that schools must continue to evolve as students and communities change.

This is one of several reflections Christine shares about leadership, school transformation, and the work of creating meaningful change.

to Jumoke Academy.

From 2019–2021, steady focus and strong leadership drove real progress.
At Jumoke TED Elementary, 3rd grade math proficiency grew from 19% to 40%.

Growth like this happens when teams stay focused and leaders stay grounded in the work.
