Teacher Leadership, implemented thoughtfully, represents an exciting opportunity for schools to explore and use the talents and expertise of teachers, in a collaborative leadership culture, to improve teaching and learning for students.

As a teacher leader, I felt I was straddling between two worlds- but not really in either. I wasn’t a classroom teacher- but I wasn’t a principal. Identifyingand Growing Internal Leaders helps us navigate that divide and offers practical and specific job targets, professional development and evaluation to clearly reflect and support this emerging and critical role.
