In British Columbia and the Yukon, transformative educational leaders do this work in classrooms, boardrooms, community forums, out on the land and across agencies. Perhaps most importantly, they do this together across roles. In this journal, transformative educational leaders share how using research in practice impacts learners.

All Transformative Educational Leadership Journal issues will feature contributions that address these goals – explicitly or implicitly:

Share stories of transformative educational practice within BC and the Yukon
Positively influence discourse amongst practitioners and scholars
Support and provoke educational transformation in the service of every student in BC and the Yukon walking the stage with dignity, purpose, options and curiosity
