Tammy, as I was reading through your post I could not help but think back to a book I read earlier this year, A Chance to Make History by Wendy Kopp. The book was written to discuss the issues surrounding helping those from low-income communities to be successful in their educational goals and more importantly in life. The book also brings forward another topic that I feel is critical in the role we play as educators and to the point you have brought forward in your post, servant leadership. As members of the faculty at our respective institutions we are leaders and need to lead by example but we are also servants and serve the needs of our students. Student success is more about what we can do as teachers to be innovative and have an intelligent heart as Lou Tice from The Pacific Institute would say. Thanks for sharing this story and I hope that as others read it they will reflect on the role they are playing with the success of their students.
