In today's political environment with the emphasis on testing,
standards, and accountability, teachers can easily feel frustrated
by the amount of time and resources left over for teaching for
guiding students not only in academics but also in character
education. Educators can find themselves losing focus of what
initially inspired them to teach. Teachers as Servant Leaders
provides pre-service teachers and those currently in the profession
with a renewed perspective of not just being a content expert or
classroom/behavioral manager, but leaders within their own
classrooms, school buildings, and local communities. Building on
Servant Leadership: A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power
and Greatness by Robert Greenleaf, this book applies the concept of
servant leadership to the classroom teacher where the focus is on
service to students, parents, colleagues, the school and community.
This text provides a solid introduction to the foundations of
research methods, with the goal of enabling students and
professionals in the various fields of education to not simply
become casual consumers of research who passively read bits and
pieces of research articles, but discerning consumers able to
effectively use published research for practical purposes in
educational settings. All issues important for understanding and
using published research for these purposes are covered. Key
principles are illustrated with research studies published in
refereed journals across a wide spectrum of education. Exercises
distributed throughout the text encourage readers to engage
interactively with what they are reading at the point when the
information is fresh in their minds. This text is designed for
higher level undergraduate and graduate programs. Course
instructors will find that it provides a solid framework in which
to promote student interaction and discussion on important issues
in research methodology.
