Abstract:

It is important to foster a culture that is conducive to everyone’s engagement in the four foundational leadership practices. This arises organically when all learners engage in the four foundational leadership practices. Without these class-wide conditions in place, only some learners successfully engage. You, the lead leader of the class, will leverage the four leadership practices yourself to foster the conditions that enable everyone to follow suit, regularly reflecting on classroom culture, goals, strategies, and feedback, to advocate for yourself and others to foster the desired conditions.
