Abstract
Servant Leadership in the Classroom: Supporting Inclusiveness and Empowerment. Servant leaders focus on the growth and well-being of others with the goal of helping the people that they serve to grow as individuals. This should be a primary goal of education and applying servant leadership in the classroom provides faculty with the opportunity of making a life-long difference in the lives of their students. Noland & Richards (2015) found that teaching from a servant leader perspective had a positive effect on both student learning and engagement. Hays (2008) discovered that servant teachers were generally more inclusive and had a greater appreciation for diversity. In addition, servant teachers assisted their students in having more confidence, feeling more capable, and more empowered. Strategies to implement this in our classrooms will be shared.
