  1. Servant Leadership and Teaching in an E-learning Environment

  2. Servant Leadership • Greenleaf (1977) states, “The servant leader is a servant first. It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve. The conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. The best test is: do those served grow as persons, do they, while being served, become healthier, wise, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants”(p. 13). • Greenleaf, R. K.

  5. Functional Learner Autonomy Functional Learner Autonomy -- Is a range of ability and willingness to participate in selecting and shaping learning experiences in which the learner may function independently or in concert with others. The degree to which an individual is engaged in functional learner autonomy is expressed in the extent that the learner optimizes the learning process by making efficient and appropriate use of their personal resources and the resources of others.

  16. Questions

  17. Some preliminary observations

  18. Listening:Actively listens to students with more than the ear, but also the heart. The response to the listening involves an assessment of the students’ individual needs, which may be personal, spiritual, physical, emotional, and academic. Derrick, G., & Jordan, H. (2003, Summer). http://characterclearinghouse.fsu.edu/index.php/articles/perspectives/73-servant-professorship-the-theology-of-the-chalkboard. Retrieved April 15, 2008, from http://characterclearinghouse.fsu.edu/index.php/articles/perspectives/73- servant-professorship-the-theology-of-the-chalkboard: http://characterclearinghouse.fsu.edu/index.php/articles/perspectives/73- servant-professorship-the-theology-of-the-chalkboard

  19. Listening • Do not make assumptions • Asked for clarification • Stay away from “you wrote” and use but “My understanding of what you have written is this my correct”? • Look for the issue behind the issue

  20. Empathy: demonstrates genuine care and concern about the student, the ability to relate and understand what the student is experiencing cognitively, affectively, and physically. • Derrick, G., & Jordan, H. (2003, Summer). • http://characterclearinghouse.fsu.edu/index.php/articles/perspectives/73-servant-professorship-the-theology-of-the-chalkboard.

  21. Empathy • Share your story • Encourage • Affirm your understanding of the struggle of the student balancing act of being, full-time employee, family member, and member of the community • Listen but not lower the bar in terms of standards. • Do not offer solutions unless the requested

  22. Authenticity

  23. Holistic Interactionencourages cognitive and spiritual growth

  24. Holistic Interaction • Emphasize that it is not the grade it is about the learning. Learning is of greater value than a grade and has its own rewards. • It’s not about memorizing data is about exercising wisdom • Learning should result in change • Help connect the dots knowledge, character, and skill

  25. Awareness: • The first job of a leader is to define reality, last to say thank you and, in between, to be a debtor and a servant.“ -- Max DuPree • Reality in terms of who they are. • Reality in terms of the world they live in at this time

  26. Persuasion: Challenging the students in their analytical and independent thinking and learning. • Derrick, G., & Jordan, H. (2003, Summer). • http://characterclearinghouse.fsu.edu/index.php/articles/perspectives/73-servant-professorship-the-theology-of-the-chalkboard.

  27. Persuasion • Ask questions to make them rethink and/or more credibly defend their conclusion • Restate the rationale of their position

  28. Foresight: Meets the needs of the student in advance, and take a proactive approach. The academic, learning process is only part of the part of the ultimate goal; it is not the end result but the beginning. • Derrick, G., & Jordan, H. (2003, Summer). • http://characterclearinghouse.fsu.edu/index.php/articles/perspectives/73-servant-professorship-the-theology-of-the-chalkboard.

  29. Foresight • Keep the vision and mission of the learning before the student. • Do not wait for the student to ask for help but take the initiative if there appears to be a problem. • Take the initiative in voice communication or in face to face communication

  30. Stewardship:Understands the role of teacher is a sacred trust • Derrick, G., & Jordan, H. (2003, Summer). • http://characterclearinghouse.fsu.edu/index.php/articles/perspectives/73-servant-professorship-the-theology-of-the-chalkboard.

  31. Commitment to people: Inspires others to serve one another and the community in which they live and participate. Learning should lead to service. • Derrick, G., & Jordan, H. (2003, Summer). • http://characterclearinghouse.fsu.edu/index.php/articles/perspectives/73-servant-professorship-the-theology-of-the-chalkboard.

  32. Community: Seeks in expanding their vision beyond themselves and immediate circumstances, to encourage others to become leaders in the broader global community. • Derrick, G., & Jordan, H. (2003, Summer). • http://characterclearinghouse.fsu.edu/index.php/articles/perspectives/73-servant-professorship-the-theology-of-the-chalkboard.
