Faculty as classroom leaders.
As a teacher, you're the leader in your classroom. Yet when Dr. Maude Yacapsin was a doctoral student back in 1998 learning about theories of leadership, she found no acknowledgement of faculty as classroom leaders.
Leadership traits that influence teaching may differ from those we look for in CEOs or politicians. Teachers show leadership when they build relationships with students, show empathy and recognize talent. They strengthen their leadership through self-reflection.
"Teaching is leadership, period. We get a group of people to learn. I couldn't believe there's nothing out there," she told WIHE. Nor could she find anything relating teaching styles to leadership types. That surprised her, given the amount of scholarship on leadership and teaching as separate topics.

This gap in the literature inspired her dissertation at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her advisor, Dr. Sheldon Stick, called the topic of leadership and teaching too grandiose, and she suspects he was right.
Her research question: Is teaching style in the higher education classroom related to the instructor's leadership type?
After completing her EdD last spring, she described her findings at the University of Nebraska's conference on Women in Educational Leadership in Lincoln in October. She is an adjunct professor of graduate teacher education at Wilkes University PA and consultant.
