Educators are oftenreluctant to take on leadership roles that seemantithetical to their collaborative caring practices.In our work together in the Investigating QualityProject and in using pedagogical narration as atool for generating critical dialogue, we explorealternative images of pedagogical leadership.Through sharing our stories, we offer a modeof thinking about pedagogical leadership thatembraces relationality and uncertainty andinvites a culture of dialogue.
