Servant #leadership is a powerful force in #school, and a vector for both shared decision-making and #teacher mattering. However, Sergiovanni and others always saw a defined common purpose that we all, together, serve. Without that, we’re just modeling what it looks like for adults to be nice to each other. Not a bad thing, but not all it could be. #edutoot @edutooters @edutooter

Media, ball’s in your court.
