Abstract

The study aimed to assess the impact of transformational leadership on teachers’ classroom performance in public secondary schools in Kisarawe District. It focussed on four key objectives: examining the influence of individualised considerations, idealised influences, inspirational motivation, and intellectual stimulation on teachers' classroom performances. The research utilized a quantitative methodology and implemented a survey including an explanatory research design. A questionnaire was employed to gather data from 198 individuals selected from a sample of 400 using straightforward random sampling. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses were employed to analyze the data. The study found a positive and significant correlation between all four dimensions of transformational leadership and teachers' classroom performance. Therefore, the study suggests equipping public secondary school heads with transformational leadership skills to boost teacher motivation and school effectiveness. Furthermore, it advocates for education stakeholders to support school leaders in adopting transformational leadership practices, given their significant impact on teacher and student outcomes. The study concludes that school leaders should actively inspire, support, and motivate teachers to enhance their performance and, ultimately, student outcomes. Key words: Transformational Leadership, Classroom Performance, Idealised Influence, Inspirational Motivation, Intellectual Stimulation and Individualised Consideration.
