Abstract Details

2005, Doctor of Education, Miami University, Educational Leadership.
This research is a case study of six alternative education administrators and the extent to which they intentionally practice moral leadership. This study examines their capacity for personal transformation, social transformation, and improving interpersonal relationships, as described by Dr. Eloy Anello of Nur University. This case study concludes that moral leadership varies among the six administrators, but their leadership practice is consistent in the following four ways: (1) they are primarily student-centered; (2) they persevere to overcome obstacles to learning; (3) they communicate a vision for their alternative programs; and (4) they value positive interpersonal relationships. Consistently they practice some form of daily personal reflection, but without systematic reflection on action within a consistent, evolving conceptual framework. This study indicates that the administrators do not distinguish between the practice of dialogue and reflection. This study also indicates the need for further research in the area of moral leadership and the related components of dialogue, reflection, and building community.
