WHAT PROMPTED SISTER CAROLINA AGRAVANTE TO DO THE THEORY? The present day demands in the nursing profession challenge nursing educators to revisit their basic responsibility of educating professional nurses who are responsive to technological, educational and social changes happening in the Philippines society today. The reopening of the doors of foreign market to Filipino nurses, migration made easy, attractive salaries and benefits way beyond what hospitals can afford to give. Nursing education is faced with a new concern that is globalization of nursing

services for the international market. Therefore a need to develop globalization of care with focus on developing caring nurses. The formation of new nursing leaders is urgently needed; leaders with new vision who will venture new traits and who have gone through new formation in order to serve the society as professional nurse. Nurses needs competent leaders with a dream what nursing can be, whose basic stand is caring and service who are competent in nursing, assertive of their own rights with the help profession. MEANING OF THE THEORY Based on the study, the effect of the CASAGRA Leadership model using the servant leader model on the leadership behavior of the nursing faculty, the care complex in the personality of the nursing faculty is highly correlated to their leadership behavior. The care complex is necessary given as a stimulant in the performance of the leadership activities. The leadership behavior of the faculty after going to the servant leadership formula was significantly higher in the two-post test periods than during the pre-test. It improved the leadership behavior of the nursing faculty in both groups. LOGICAL ADEQUACY - The conceptual framework is logical because the variables are very well explained on how transformative-leadership model be applicable through care complex, transformative teaching servant-leader spirituality, and servantleader behavior. - A person with dynamic care complex is the cornerstone of nursing leadership. According to care complex of Agravante, caring personality rests on the possession of a care complex with in a person as an energy source of caring. - The framework explains and predicts the continuous formation of nursing leadership behavior in nursing faculty that will eventually affect their teaching function. - Servant-leadership formula runs parallel to the generic elements of the transformative-leadership model.

- Transformative teaching is the guide that desired for the modern educative process designed to form the millennium professional nurse. - Expertise is the practice of caring and proactive in face of challenges for the profession go hand-in-hand. Education and practice bring this about. STRENGTHS - It provided the task of the formation of the nurse leaders at the baccalaureate level so that the profession assured the graduates possess the mind and heart of a nursing leader who is of the nursing profession - It can also be use in other educational settings not just on nursing profession

WEAKNESSES/ LIMITATIONS - CASAGRA transformative leadership limits only on Roman Catholic and Christians nursing educators. - Did not consider other religion to this study. In the Philippines we have a variety of religion present. Every religion has its own traditions and practices to be considered. - According to the study the control and study groups were selected from the same faculty in the two schools, it is highly possible that experience could have been discussed casually in faculty room and in some way must contaminated the intervention.

USEFULNESS (PRACTICABILTY) It is significant to the nurse educators. It will help them to achieve the visionmission as a network of innovative, competent empowered educators towards excellence in national and global development. The theory could be the answer in the modern-world challenges in nursing education that is centered on the teaching of Jesus, a paradigm of peace.

GENERALIZABILITY AND PARSIMONY -Nursing students will be assured of similar leadership formation that will be

provided to them by the nursing educators who advocated the CASAGRA Transformative Leadership model. It will give them the confidence they need to face the challenges in the profession. -Transformative teachers are basically who looks into herself, sees her assumptions and feelings in the light of the nursing profession in the modern days, how her own philosophy of life affects professional life with her students SIMPLICITY - Agravantes theory does not possess simplicity because the study group has to undergo seminar and retreats which somehow give hassles to them. - The theory is designed to transform a servant leader which Agravante possesses Jesus as a sample
