Integrative model of servant leadership style and critical pedagogy: Answers to school leadership of neoliberalism

Abstract

This study aimed to analyse servant leadership's attributes in the theory and practice of critical pedagogy and find commonalities that produce an integrative model that will answer to the school leadership of neoliberalism. The study found an integrative model between servant leadership style and critical pedagogy that includes similar attributes of servant leadership and critical pedagogy related to the dimensions of transcendental spirituality, emotional healing and putting students first, creating value for the community, empowering students and helping students develop and succeed, demonstrating conceptual skills and behaving ethically. This integrative model is a constructive answer to the implementation of school leadership of neoliberalism.
