ABSTRACT
Chapter 5 lays out what actions might be taken as a responsive school leader starts to implement the framework discussed in the previous chapter in the context of teaching, learning, and the curriculum. These actions flow from a starting point that concludes that responsive educational leaders and schools can impact our human condition, that we have a moral obligation to place our humanness at the center of the aims of education. By involving stakeholders in goal setting, building organizational culture, helping teachers develop themselves, involving students, and building a curriculum centered on interdisciplinarity and experience, we build responsiveness. By building responsive leaders and cultures in our schools, we are more able to respond to existing and future “wicked problems” in our societies through deliberation, digital and media literacy, and other areas.
