Integral teacher as an evolutionary leader

Abstract

This article describes competencies of an integral teacher in the light of research in the field of leadership. It starts with presenting the development of consciousness in an integral perspective. Recognizing this field is especially important in the context of adult education and in order to awaken developmental motivation. The Author adapts models of construct-developmental researchers and draws from them the desired competencies of an integral teacher. At the end the Author calls for the education of a new type of teacher as a leader with post-conventional consciousness, who is powerful enough to catalyze the integral development of students.
