Abstract

Transformational school leaders are always correlated to positive climate in order to encourage students learn maximally. This article is aimed at discussing the results of an exploratory study on how transformational leaders manage positive climate in five secondary multicultural schools in Surakarta, Indonesia. This is a narrative qualitative research in which the writer uses in-depth interview, observation, and documentation as the methods of collecting the data. The subjects of the study are five school principals, 15 teachers and 15 students from five multicultural schools. The data was analyzed inductively by following the thematic steps developed by Creswell. Credibility of the data is verified by applying data triangulation. The results of the interview show that the school principals created school rules, encouraged the teachers to implement character building in the classrooms, designed activities which involve students, and involve parents to monitor the school activities. As bullying occurred, the principals invited parents and school committee to solve the bullying problems, monitored the students, conducted dialogue, and involved the counseling teachers. The keys to create a positive climate are strengthening characters, becoming models for students, conducting good communication, teaching to respect others, and engaging school community to work together.
