If success in the classroom for every student is a priority, this neither can nor should be readily disregarded. The question is not whether teachers have to better assist struggling students, but rather are they adequately prepared and equipped with strategies to be more involved in ways that might help them overcome the obstacles they face daily. Robert Greeleaf’s philosophy of servant leadership is a technique teachers should consider if they aspire to better help students surmount their daily struggles and be more willing to engage in learning. Those that adopt servant leadership and apply its principles in their classrooms will be more equipped to help students face daily obstacles by turning away from authoritative instructional techniques towards a more all-encompassing, communal approach to learning.  \nKeywords: Robert Greenleaf, servant leadership, critical spiritual pedagogy  \nIntroduction  \nAnyone who has ever stepped foot in a classroom understands that all students at one time or another are going to struggle in some way. Time management, test anxiety, social awkwardness, indifference to learning, organizational skills, parental pressures—all of these (and a host of others) have been well documented by scholars as serious issues that characterize the daily experiences of students in America, impeding the ability of many to find meaning in their intellectual development and engage in classroom activities. Marge Scherer used the phrase “the silent strugglers” to describe these students and suggested broadening its scope to include more than those labeled at-risk. “In a sense,” she stated,“every student struggles with something.”1 This isan unavoidable part of education every teacher should acknowledge.  \nTeachers must accept that they need (and are required by law) to do more for their students than they have ever before been expected to do. If success in the classroom for every student is a priority, this neither can nor should be readily disregarded. The question is not whether teachers have to better assist struggling students, but rather are they adequately prepared and  \n1. Marge Scherer,“Perspectives/The Silent Strugglers,”Educational Leadership 63, no. 5 (2006): 7.  \n76 Fitzgerald—Becoming Leo  \nequipped with strategies to be more involved in ways that might help them overcome the obstacles they face daily. Are they ready and able to help the silent strugglers Scherer suggested are in need of more assistance? If teachers are to ensure all students receive the high quality educational opportunities they deserve, this has to happen.  \nThe Servant Leadership Philosophy  \nIn this paper I promote Robert Greeleaf’s philosophy of servant leadership as a technique for teachers to consider if they aspire to better help students surmount their daily struggles and be more willing to engage in learning. I assert that teachers who adopt servant leadership and apply its principles in their classrooms will be more equipped to help students face daily obstacles by turning away from authoritative instructional techniques towards a more all-encompassing, communal approach to learning. I do not claim this is the only effective approach for teachers to use in helping struggling students. Rather, I am optimistic about what it can do for them in light of the assistance and intervention many need to make it through the challenges ofthe school day and achieve their intellectual potential. Based on anecdotal and experiential research, I believe that servant leadership as a pedagogical philosophy for teachers is well worth considering.  \n“Servant leadership,” according to the Greenleaf Center,“is a philosophy ","cbCaigYjA2uFKDqV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigYjA2uFKDqV","pdf",763157,11,"English","# Introduction\n## The Servant Leadership Philosophy\n## The Story of Leo","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the paper identify about classroom support for students?\",\"answer\":\"Students inevitably struggle with issues such as test anxiety, social awkwardness, indifference to learning, and organizational difficulties.
