ROLE OF COMPETENCY IN THE TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS

In recent years, the importance of transformational leadership in education has garnered significant attention, particularly as schools strive to meet the evolving demands of students. For Mathematics teachers, their leadership role extends beyond the classroom, requiring them to demonstrate strong competencies that can inspire both students and colleagues. This study aimed to explore how the competency of Mathematics teachers impacts their transformational leadership abilities. Specifically, it sought to assess how critical skills, such as problem-solving and instructional strategies, enhance their leadership effectiveness and promote a motivating and supportive learning environment. This study examined the role of competency in the transformational leadership of Mathematics teachers, focusing on how their skillset influenced leadership effectiveness in educational settings. The research assessed how their competencies such as problem-solving and instructional strategies, contributed to their ability to inspire and motivate students and colleagues. Data were gathered from Mathematics teachers in secondary schools, and results revealed that higher competency levels correlated with improved leadership outcomes. Additionally, the study highlighted specific areas for development, suggesting that enhancing teacher competencies can boost transformational leadership. This research emphasized the need for professional development programs to support the continuous growth of Mathematics teachers as effective leaders.
