Abstract	Transformative education exists in a complex, dynamic, and ambiguous state seeking structural definitions and relationships within an interdisciplinary arena often critiqued for its limitations as an individual--rather than social--practice. This type of education encompasses learning processes that may facilitate the development of civic-minded, democratic citizens seeking change characterized by actions that disrupt existing norms on political or social levels. This theoretical study examines transformative, civic, and leadership frameworks to excavate the underlying common ethos that promotes personal, social, and political impact. In addition to mapping each major element of the frameworks, their connections and tensions will be illustrated graphically and textually. The resulting analysis will demonstrate the shared ethos amongst these three deeply intertwined and symbiotic theories as they relate to personal growth and social development. Preliminary mapping demonstrates key features of these frameworks highlight an ethos anchored in cultivating awareness, critical reflexivity, engaged inquiry, shift in perspective, and informed action emerging from the prior phases.
