Background
Revisiting our leadership identity each time before we walk into a classroom can give us an opportunity to re-examine what leadership tenets we demonstrate in the classroom and to what extent our leadership practices foster or limit our students’ growth. Leadership identity development is an ongoing and dynamic process and evolves through reflective practice. When teachers are involved with self-examination and reflection, they can access their underlying values, beliefs, and assumptions about language education. Through this introspective process, teachers can recognize their own limitations and biases, and the privileged position they are granted in the classroom. As a result, they can develop an empathetic lens that will not only help them understand the challenges students are facing, but also, stimulate their desire to collaborate with them. We believe that collaborative leadership between the unequally positioned teacher and students originates from this empathetic lens.
Hence, this volume will shed light on how teachers’ leadership identity transforms their pedagogical decisions and proposes a new framework, leaderful classroom practices which emerges through collaborative interactions between the teacher and students.
