The Teacher As Self-Leader: Building Missional Competence In Christian Public School Teachers, Valerie A. Keaton
Education Insights: Journal of Research and Practice
This paper applies Manz’s definition of self-leadership to Christian public school teachers who desire to leverage their Christian witness in their classrooms.

Then, using original research, the author shows how Christian public school teachers are currently leveraging their Christian witness.

Observing Christian education’s distinctives from multiple, specific perspectives allows educators to better define and describe …
