Challenges in leading and managing people in educational institutions are worthwhile indicators that require constant checks and adjustments. These verifications are necessary because humans are complex beings and whose thinking faculties are not fixed and often guided by situational and environmental factors. Consequently, they must have divergent views which may pose unpredictable problems to administrators. Only very smart and ardent leaders maybe quick to detect, withstand and overcome such inevitables. The need for such challenges to be identified and controlled before they galvanize subordinates into negative behavioral tendencies cannot be under-estimated. This paper therefore examined possible challenges which may manifest as impediments or hindrances to the effective leading and managing of people in educational institutions in Cameroon. A number of challenges were examined and discussed in the paper. Suggestions for ways of checking and controlling the challenges have been made to serve as a reservoir of checks and guides for school administrators and leaders. The paper cautions school managers to be tactful and apply modern charismatic approaches in the control, directing of staff and managing of their institutions.

Influence of Inspirational Motivation on Teachers’ Job Commitment in Public P...inventionjournals
The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of inspirational motivation on teachers’ job commitment in public primary schools in Matinyani Sub County, Kitui County, Kenya. One research objective guided the study. The study employed descriptive survey design. The sample for the study was 25 head teachers and 169 teachers. Data was collected by use of questionnaires. Pearson product correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data. Findings revealed that there was a significant and positive relationship between inspirational motivation and teachers’ job commitment (r = .774, N = 160). Based on the findings, the study concluded that inspirational motivation increased teachers’ job commitment and thus head teachers should increase inspirational motivation which is a key to increasing teachers’ job commitment. The study suggested that comparable studies in other public primary schools should be carried out in other parts of the county to find out whether the findings can be generalized to the entire county. Secondly, since the study focused on one element of transformative leadership style, a study should be conducted to establish how other elements of transformational leadership styles influence teachers’ job commitment.

This book answers the questions regarding to what is a real Educational Curriculum? or What should be a Democratic Curriculum? By implication, it refers the misconceptions and flaws in the practice of Curriculum Development and implementation, by reference to the Curriculum process in England and Wales throughout three decades.
The author ends this book by stating that an appropriate curriculum for a democratic society allows continuing development of knowledge, provides opportunities for young people to develop their powers of autonomous thinking, provides teachers with autonomy to make professional judgments, is developed in a democratic system of accountability, is framed in terms of guidelines and principles, is planned with the participation of key actors, among them professionals, academics, policy-makers and others.
Finally, this book Invites to develop further research on questions such as, the exploration of ‘the role of the professional teacher in a democratic society’, how democratic in the context in which the teacher performs his work?, the practical procedural principles based on the Human Development theory for a National Curriculum or Curriculum Development, the dimensions of the concept of education left behind in current National curriculums, the features of a National Curriculum that promote or block the development of students’ autonomy for a democratic society.

Systems Thinking and Problems of Practice
Evidence-Based Practice
One of the design concepts attributed to successful EdD programs is the scholarly practitioner, which The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (n.d.) defines as practitioners who:
Blend practical wisdom with professional skills and knowledge to name, frame, and solve problems of practice. They use practical research and applied theories as tools for change because they understand the importance of equity and social justice. They disseminate their work in multiple ways, and they have an obligation to resolve problems of practice by collaborating with key stakeholders, including the university, the educational institution, the community, and individuals. (Design-Concepts Upon Which to Build Programs section)As you move toward the final weeks of our course, a high priority for all who lead learning is the application of systems thinking as you identify a problem of practice relevant to your organization.
As noted by Dirkx (2006):
The demand for evidence-based research (EBR) in education has evoked considerable debate regarding the nature of knowledge practitioners hold, how they come to know, and the sociopolitical contexts in which that knowledge is generated. Proponents of EBR such as Michael Feuer stress the need for research that validly identifies solutions to important problems of educational practice. Critics such as Elizabeth St. Pierre decry such approaches to research on practice as epistemologically inappropriate and oblivious to their political and moral implications. Both positions illuminate important dimensions of improving practice, but what works seems to get lost in the rhetoric. In this article, the author suggests that we in adult education take seriously the question of what works in practice by developing a knowledge base grounded in research methods and strategies that give voice to the particularities of practice contexts, what he refers to as the "insider perspective." (p. 273)
As you proceed through your EdD program, you will be required to identify a problem of practice, not simply an isolated problem in your organization, but instead a problem of practice that is clearly supported in the professional literature. Note that such problems were most likely identified as you developed the Literature Review assignment—all work of doctoral scholars must be firmly corroborated in the literature and research relevant to your organization’s problems of practice.
As you work to identify a problem of practice in your organization, please note the imperative to apply systems thinking. As noted by Senge, Cambron-McCabe, Lucas, Smith, Dutton, and Kleiner (2012):
Systems thinking is the ability to understand (and sometimes to predict) interactions and relationship in complex, dynamic systems—the kinds of systems we are surrounded by and embedded in. Some of the systems already under study in clas.
· If we accept the fact that we may need to focus more on teaching.docxalinainglis
· If we accept the fact that we may need to focus more on teaching civic responsibility, how can this work with both "policies and people" in the school where you become principal?
In order to increase the focus on teaching civic responsibility, policy must be in place supporting this goal. A school leader must be willing to invest time and funds into planning, training, and implementing curriculum that emphasizes civics. Staff members may have different levels of interest, understanding, and comfort when it comes to incorporating civic responsibility into their teaching, so providing professional development in this area would be critical. The strategic plan for integrating civic responsibility and the expectations for each teacher’s involvement should be clearly communicated. In addition to establishing these policies regarding civics education, the school leader and teachers must work to model civic responsibility. In addition to sharing his or her vision for increased focus on civics with the school staff, the school leader should work to share his or her vision with school board members, other district personnel including the superintendent, and the greater community. Lastly, school leaders need to support their staff as they take risks and work to develop and implement new activities, discussions, and projects centered around teaching civic responsibility.
· How will you lead your staff in this part of the curriculum?
In leading my staff in this part of the curriculum, I would work to secure professional development related to civic responsibility, as this is not an area that I have expertise in, and work as a staff to develop our vision and implementation goals. I would also provide examples such as the work of the exemplar schools described in the article in integrating civic responsibility across all content areas, implementing service-learning programs, and creating partnerships between the school and community. I would also work within PLTs to develop ways that civic responsibility could be incorporated within their curriculum and remind them that they have my support as they embark on this endea

A Systematic Literature Review of Servant Leadership Theory
in Organizational Contexts

Abstract A new research area linked to ethics, virtues,
and morality is servant leadership. Scholars are currently
seeking publication outlets as critics debate whether this
new leadership theory is significantly distinct, viable, and
valuable for organizational success. The aim of this study
was to identify empirical studies that explored servant
leadership theory by engaging a sample population in order
to assess and synthesize the mechanisms, outcomes, and
impacts of servant leadership. Thus, we sought to provide
an evidence-informed answer to how does servant leader-
ship work, and how can we apply it? We conducted a sys-
tematic literature review (SLR), a methodology adopted
from the medical sciences to synthesize research in a sys-
tematic, transparent, and reproducible manner. A disci-
plined screening process resulted in a final sample
population of 39 appropriate studies. The synthesis of these
empirical studies revealed: (a) there is no consensus on the
definition of servant leadership; (b) servant leadership
theory is being investigated across a variety of contexts,
cultures, and themes; (c) researchers are using multiple
measures to explore servant leadership; and (d) servant
leadership is a viable leadership theory that helps organi-
zations and improves the well-being of followers. This
study contributes to the development of servant leadership
theory and practice. In addition, this study contributes to the
methodology for conducting SLRs in the field of manage-
ment, highlighting an effective method for mapping out
thematically, and viewing holistically, new research topics.
We conclude by offering suggestions for future research.

Introduction
Leadership is one of the most comprehensively researched
social influence processes in the behavioral sciences. This is
because the success of all economic, political, and organi-
zational systems depends on the effective and efficient
guidance of the leaders of these systems (Barrow 1977). A
critical factor to understanding the success of an organiza-
tion, then, is to study its leaders. Leadership is a skill used to
influence followers in an organization to work enthusiasti-
cally towards goals specifically identified for the common
good (Barrow 1977; Cyert 2006; Plsek and Wilson 2001).
Great leaders create a vision for an organization, articulate
the vision to the followers, build a shared vision, craft a path
to achieve the vision, and guide their organizations into new
directions (Banutu-Gomez and Banutu-Gomez 2007; Kotter
2001). According to Schneider (1987), the most important
part in build.

Evaluation
Leadership style assessments certainly have a place within the organization. The effectiveness of a leadership style assessment will depend on what type of assessment and what the organizational needs are. Multi-source feedback assessments are supposed to give a 360 degree look at a leader and give the organization a valuable outcome in the evaluation of the leader (MacKie, 2015). Using multi-source feedback assessments can be extremely beneficial as long as the assessment is properly paired with the organizational goals and needs. Assessing a leader from multi perspectives is truly a holistic approach. But, organizations need to recognize that no leadership style assessment is not without its limitations.
Next, the behavior approach is one of four approaches to leadership. Three of which all have weaknesses; traits, skills, and behavior. But the fourth approach to leadership, the situational approach demonstrates the flexibility of a leader (Northouse2016, 2016). In today’s dynamic and complex business environment, flexible leaders bring the most value to an organization. The situational approach allows the leader to apply the other three approaches given the circumstances. As an Army leader I found this approach to be extremely effective while leading in combat and non-combat situations.
Explanation of Usefulness
Of equal importance is the usefulness leadership style assessments and the behavior approach have on an organization. Once an organization has clearly defined the goals and purpose of conducting an assessment, and then subsequently the correct assessment is used, the results will certainly help the organization. In this case, using an assessment to evaluate the benefits of a behavior approach to leadership will allow the organization to determine what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and how fast it needs to be done (Saxena, 2014). Additionally, the behavior approach (if the relationship behavior is used), can give subordinates the motivation needed to achieve the desired outcome through a better understanding of themselves.
Explanation of Impact
The impact of leadership assessments on an individual can be positive or negative. Again, this directly correlates to the goals and expectations of the organization when the assessment is implemented. For the individual, it could potentially identify strengths and weaknesses. Thus, giving the individual the opportunity to grow and learn from the assessment. Simultaneously, the organization discovers how these strengths and weaknesses fit into the organization’s goals. Once they have identified where and how an individual nest into the organization, a holistic approach to achieving those goals can be developed (Northouse2016, 2016). In comparison, using a behavior approach assessment will yield valuable information about subordinates’ behavior patterns. Which equates to the organization knowing and understanding their employees. Understanding behavio.

In the previous chapter, we reviewed how theorists’ view of lead-ership has changed, from the belief that leaders are simply born
to the idea that the best way to learn about leadership is to study
the behaviors or practices of people who are viewed as leaders. The-
orizing has evolved even further into an understanding of leader-
ship as a complex process. Indeed, leadership is a transforming
process that raises all participants to levels at which they can
become effective leaders.
Leadership may best be understood as philosophy. At its core,
understanding philosophy means understanding values. “Affect,
motives, attitudes, beliefs, values, ethics, morals, will, commitment,
preferences, norms, expectations, responsibilities—such are the con-
cerns of leadership philosophy proper. Their study is paramount
because the very nature of leadership is that of practical philosophy,
philosophy-in-action” (Hodgkinson, 1983, p. 202). When we exam-
ine historical leaders, we often are analyzing the values and ethics
that characterized their leadership. It is critical that we each
develop our own personal philosophy—one we hope will include
the elements of the model presented in this chapter.

the model is presented in detail to give you more information about
each component.
Relational Leadership
Leadership has to do with relationships, the role of which cannot
be overstated. Leadership is inherently a relational, communal
process. “Leadership is always dependent on the context, but the
context is established by the relationships we value” (Wheatley,
1992, p. 144). Although a person could exert leadership of ideas
through persuasive writings or making speeches, most leadership
happens in an interactive context between individuals and among
group members. We emphasize once again: we view leadership as a
relational and ethical process of people together attempting to accomplish
positive change.
Chapter Two presented an overview of how leadership theories
and models have changed over time. These changing frameworks
are reflected in the descriptive terms that have been affixed to the
word leadership. Examples of these leadership theories and concepts
include situational, transforming, servant-leadership, authentic lead-
ership, and principle-centered leadership. We have used the term
relational leadership as a reminder that relationships are the focal
point of the leadership process.
Relational leadership involves a focus on five primary compo-
nents. This approach to leadership is purposeful and builds com-
mitment toward positive purposes that are inclusive of people and
diverse points of view, empowers those involved, is ethical, and rec-
ognizes that all four of these elements are accomplished by ...

Module 4 - Background
THE CULTURE AND MORAL COMPASSES
Part 1: The Culture Compass
As the “personality” of an organization, organizational culture has been variously defined. Culture has been a topic of great interest to organizational researchers and practitioners alike, given its apparent influence on such matters as organizational change, performance, and effectiveness. An abstract concept, organizational culture is not all that easily defined – although most of us do know it when we “see” it, or when we experience its characteristics. Much of organizational culture is tacit – it lies below the level of our awareness, as certain agreed-upon assumptions are not made explicit. Culture includes artifacts, symbols, stories, beliefs, habits, value systems, and shared assumptions (“the way we do things around here”). Of course, an organization’s culture can be made more highly complex by virtue of the many sub-cultures that make up the overall culture. Whatever culture is, its elements become most readily apparent to us during the merger of two organizations, particularly so when the culture of the two merging organizations are vastly dissimilar.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Book Review: Ethical Decision Making in School Administration:
Leadership as Moral Architecture

Abstract
Those in school leadership and others who prepare them must identify resources which support
the mentoring process in order to ensure aspiring and practicing school leaders are prepared to
plan and make decisions from a consistent framework. Ethical Decision Making in School
Leadership: Leadership as Moral Architecture, by Wagner and Simpson, is one such resource.
Although this book was published in 2009, it is important for its unique contribution to
leadership theory and behavior. Readers are introduced to multiple lenses supportive of strategic
decision making for practicing leaders and for training both aspiring leaders and those in
advanced leadership programs. This review highlights the authors’ central themes and illustrates
how the book can support the school leader’s application of a consistent lens for decision making
in school leadership.
Keywords: ethical school leadership, advanced leadership training, leadership theory and
behavior, moral architecture, pragmatic idealism
PK-12 school administrators are constantly faced with the responsibility to make
decisions. In their book Ethical Decision Making in School Administration: Leadership as Moral
Architecture, Paul A. Wagner and Douglas J. Simpson offer a prescription designed to support
school leaders’ cultivation of reflective thinking and purposeful, consistent decision making.
Paul Wagner is currently a Professor and Chair of Educational Foundations, Professor of
Philosophy in the School of Human Sciences and Humanities, and Director of the Project in
Professional Ethics at the University of Houston - Clear Lake. Douglas J. Simpson is Professor
Emeritus at Texas Christian University and has served in tenured positions at the University of
Louisville, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Tennessee State University, and Texas
Christian University.
The authors’ message is delivered in the framework of two new concepts. The first is the
idea of leadership as moral architecture. This construct is based on the idea that school leaders
are active, moral agents who are responsible for more than their own behavior. The leader’s
responsibility extends to organizational consequences that naturally accompany the environment
those leaders foster.

2____________________________________________________________________________________________
According to Paul A. Wagner and Douglas J. Simpson, moral architecture is “created in
large part by how senior-level administrators go about their daily tasks” (2009, p. xii.). By
fostering an elevated moral architecture, the leader creates a participatory environment where
individual stakeholders are given meaningful opportunities to make contributions to the creative
process of defining organizational purpose and achieving goals. In this atmosphere, each
contributor has a personal stake in systemic success or failure; consequently, formal authority
secures stakeholder investment in a shared effort rather than simple buy-in for an individual’s
plan. The ability to forge this type of architecture is consistent with the skill set of the
transformational leader (Hoy & Miskel, 2005). By contrast, the flat moral architecture that is
“accidental” and evolves in the absence of one that is “democratic (and) deliberatively derived”
(Wagner & Simpson, 2009, p.13), focuses on efficient management of the mechanical aspects of
the organization through the lens of one person’s priorities without adequate regard for the
organization’s organic context.
The second new idea is Pragmatic Idealism. This idea suggests that while the pursuit of
ultimate truth may be unfruitful, it is possible to move toward ultimate truth by “fits and starts”
(Wagner & Simpson, 2009, p. 77). The authors fuel readers’ reflective application of this concept
through an extended and operational review of ethical theorists through history. In reviewing the
core tenants of almost 20 different philosophers, the reader has the opportunity to reflect in a
self-assessing way on their value system and the basis for that system. Without prescribing one
philosopher’s ethical system over another’s, the authors assert an effective organizational leader
is one who has a clearly defined and consistent value system that informs their decision making
habits and processes. In eight chapters, four appendices, and a glossary, the book proceeds to
systematically discuss how school leaders can make decisions that are ethically consistent
despite the constantly changing and increasingly diverse needs of the communities they serve.
Badgett-Kritsonis Supervision Leadership Model
The Badgett/Kritsonis Supervision Leadership Model has application to this book. This
model focuses on six fundamental principles of effective supervision. Step One: Expectations
must be reasonable. Step Two: Expectations clearly communicated. Step Three: Expectations
consistently enforced. Once these foundational steps are established, the supervisor advances to
the fourth, fifth, and sixth steps. Step Four: Results monitored. Step Five: Results monitored for
effectiveness. Step Six: Expectations reinforced or revised in a systematic, measured, and safe
manner. This idea is predicated on the necessary presence of effective and ethical decision
making.
Practical Application and Unique Contribution
With consideration for the new concepts, Leadership as Moral Architecture and
Pragmatic Idealism and with Chapter Two’s review of ethical theorists throughout time to
support practical application, this book makes a valuable contribution to our knowledge base.
According to Davis and Jazzar (2005), reflection is an important leadership activity. This book is
