Corrupted Principles and the Challenges of Critically Reflective Leadership documents the
author's research as a K-12 principal in an elite American International School in Bolivia.
During those years she kept a daily journal of her work that revealed exactly how the school
fabricated college transcripts and passed failing students and examines why the school remained
unaccountable for its corrupt actions. Against a backdrop of national crisis when Bolivia's
indigenous majority struggled to gain executive political power and invoke inclusive and
pluralistic education reforms this book details how the school's plutocratic processes helped
to guarantee that its wealthy young graduates would retain their privileged place in society.
As the title suggests Corrupted Principles and the Challenges of Critically Reflective
Leadership reveals the author's professional Dilemma to remain true to her education ideals
while leading a corrupt school. How she resolved this ethical predicament is the crux of this
study and illuminates the challenges and inspiration of doing Critically Reflective Leadership.
