This action research explores the journey and strategies of a kinder¬garten director at a rural elementary school in promoting innovative kin¬dergarten operations through the lens of educator accountability theory. The study focuses on how the director addresses multifaceted adminis¬trative pressures and challenges while implementing innovation across six dimensions: administrative management, curriculum and instruction, environmental enhancement, school-family collaboration, performance-based marketing, and resource utilization. The findings indicate that the director successfully applied various accountability strategies, including proactive coping, leading by example, trust-based collaboration, seek¬ing professional consultation, continuous professional development, and goal-oriented planning. These strategies significantly improved the kin¬dergarten’s operational performance and strengthened its relationships with parents and the community. The study concludes with recommen¬dations for strengthening administrative support and policy mechanisms for rural kindergarten leaders to ensure sustainable development. |
