Servant Leadership in Action

 
Servant Leadership in Action 

Mooney and Mausbach (2008) describe curriculum leaders as change agents who will experience the discomforts with implementing change often resisted and criticized by others. Regardless, great curriculum leaders are charged with analyzing and questioning the status quo, believing that the district (or organization) can go higher, and having the courage and conviction to stick with curricular changes until full implementation is achieved.

• One way to turn talk into action.
• The potential impact of what you selected and discussed on your own development and the learning of others.
• How these principles support the theory of transformational leadership and transparency.
