Abstract: his study investigates a promising reform strategy: central office transformation. At its core, central office transformation is about forming, cultivating, and sustaining teaching and learning partnerships between central office leaders and principals (Honig, Copland, Rainey, Lorton, and Newton, 2010). Thus, this study used a multiple case method to examine the teaching and learning partnerships between central office leaders and principals in two effective K-12 school organizations--one parochial and one charter.
