 %TEACH LEAD STUDENT NEW HABITS MIND HEART PERCEIVE 890421

     Educators  lead  students in the development  of  new
habits of mind and heart. To be helpful, educators need to
understand   the  process  of  leadership;   for   helpful
educators  are  leaders,  and relate themselves  to  their
students as their followers.

     Helpful  educators  are not programmers of  students.
Helpful  educators do not control their students.  Helpful
educators  are  not pouring information into  students  as
containers.  Helpful educators are leaders of students who
are  moved to follow their leadership because the students
perceive the educators as meriting their trust, and so are
willing  to  take the risk of following the educator as  a
leaders.

     To    be  wise  students,   all  students  need    to
recognize  their  educators  as leaders  who  need  to  be
critically  appraised  to  see if they merit  respect  and
trust  as educers.  Students need to regard themselves  as
other than programmable computers, automatons, information
boxes,  or members of an military unit.  To become  wisely
educated,  students need to perceive themselves as persons
in  the  process  of growing with  personal  and  communal
integrity,   choosing  to follow educational leaders  whom
they judge to be worthy of respect.
