HOPE

live, the way we work, and the way the world operates.
Why teacher??
A teacher who is genuinely passionate about teaching a subject will also be on a journey of learning and discovery. Not just about the subject to be taught but a journey of learning about themselves and how they can use their whole being to make a difference.
Why school??
“In school, a collection of youngsters come together for a certain number of hours each day; the students are expected to be civil to one another, to heed the dominant adult figure(s), and to sit still for relatively long periods of time so that they can master materials whose application to their daily lives seems obscure” (Gardner, H)
“There are five or ten others with the same potential for leadership who have never led or perhaps even considered leading”
John Gardner
Childhood and leadership role models
In the past, research has focused primarily on the traits that individuals associate with the world ‘leader’. These may be positive or negative
“ Leadership is the authentic expression of individuals at their best, when engaged with others achieving a
common purpose that is more than goal setting”
Hilarie Owen
“Leadership is not just the behavior of a single
individual, but rather, is characterized by a
collaborative relationship between the individual
and those they are leading.
CONCLUSIONS (Owen)# 1 Every single human being
has some leadership potential
# 2 No two people express leadership in the same way
# 3 We will not become the leader we are capable of being just attending a leadership course
# 4 To have leadership expressed throughout a school or any organization, more democratic, all take responsibility
