Who is this book for?
The book aims at anyone striving to facilitate students' leadership development in an autonomy-supportive manner, as well as possibly the students themselves. Being a student facilitator is not based on where you work, whom you work with, or what learning students are engaged in. Instead, a student facilitator (who can be an educator or a student) empowers learners to be leaders by promoting autonomy-supportive principles and practices. A student facilitator might be a teacher, advisor, administrator, or student hoping to cultivate student leadership. This might be in the context of interest-based learning communities, circles, sports teams or volunteer groups. Or you might be supporting student workers and event organizers. Whichever kinds of student groups you work with, the concepts in this book, such as communities of practice, basic psychological needs, and leadership styles, have been widely applied in many fields and are just as applicable to student groups.
Why should you read this book?
As the authors write in the introduction, "autonomy-supportive leadership support does not simply build successful language learners, but rather future leaders who can positively contribute to any field they enter." We invite you to set a chain reaction in motion to create a positive learning climate that prioritizes individuals' well-being and cultivates their potential for making positive contributions to the world.
