Abstract:

"There are a number of issues that apply to teacher leadership," says the introduction to a new collection of leadership case studies from the Center for Strengthening the Teaching Profession. Among the dilemmas are: How do teacher leaders act as stewards of reform? What professional development and mentoring is required to become a teacher leader? How does one straddle the roles of teacher and leader? How do school systems define the roles and responsibilities of teacher leaders? The four cases in this 16-page publication, developed and written by emerging teacher leaders, explore these questions through the lens of personal experience. The case titles offer clues to the content: "Transitions," "Overwhelmed and Underappreciated,"  "Crossroads" and "Considering All Voices." Valuable, absorbing reading for anyone in or contemplating a leadership role. (Download the free publication at this webpage-you have to scroll down a little--and look at past and current case studies while you're there!)
