2.2.2. Embedders of changeDrawing on the idea of transformational leadership, the engagement of followers is imperative for successful internationalization (Hallinger, 2003). Nolan and Hunter (2012) emphasize that faculty members become the embedders of change in higher education, and that engagement is required in order for this change to be sustained. Similarly, in the context of school education, passionate teachers working tirelessly to facilitate, organize, and put internationalization into practice are indispensable in the process of implementing change. When teachers understand the meaning of a particular project, they are willing to invest in it, and thus bring about changes (Heidemann, 2003). The role of teachers is to work as a group towards the common goal of implementing internationalization in their teaching in order to facilitate student development of intercultural competence, that is, to achieve the expected outcome of internationalization efforts at the school level.
