| Sumario: | Few would argue with the notion that teachers play an important role in shaping student learning. Best practices suggest we do so by positively influencing affect (motivation based on perceived relevance/utility), cognition (comprehension/ understanding) and behavior (performance/application). Grounded in the theoretical paradigms of Freire, Greenleaf and Bandura, we contend that teachers have a moral obligation to influence not only student's minds, but also their hearts in ways that encourage them to grow into morally grounded servant-leaders as they interact in the world beyond the academy. We recommend several pedagogical strategies based on Greenleaf's ten servant leadership principles and propose potential implications.
