Abstract	This study examined the experiences of Adult Basic Education instructors implementing principles of servant leadership in the classroom, the perceptions of these educators as to the process of instilling student self-efficacy through educator use of servant leadership, and their perceptions of the role servant leadership plays in the Adult Basic Education classroom. Low self-efficacy in Adult Basic Education students is thought to affect student progress. This study hoped to provide practical understanding of how servant leadership can facilitate student self-efficacy development. Twelve participants participated in this qualitative Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis study. Participants were current instructors whose main responsibility is to prepare students for successful High School Equivalency exam preparation. Data was collected using one-on-one interviews. This research approach was chosen because of its focus on the lived experiences and perceptions of educators. This study showed that ABE educators' teaching approach changed over time to focus on student needs over content, that these educators go above and beyond to develop relationships of trust with students, that teachers can have a negative impact on student self-efficacy, that ABE educators do not perceive student self-efficacy development as a specific process, but rather as use of servant leadership characteristics attending to the student's individual needs, and the perceived role of servant leadership in the ABE classroom includes improving academic outcomes, changing student mindset, encouraging students to reflect on their lives and futures, creating future leaders, and preparing students for everyday life. This research outlined the need for further research specific servant leadership in the context of Adult Basic Education since current literature lacks research scholarship in this area.
