31 Betsy Rogers Kate Reber 2006 <p>The TeachersCount organization, based in New York City, focuses its work on raising public awareness about the importance of teaching and the contributions teachers make to American society. A good cause! The group's website includes a monthly feature, &quot;TeachersTopic,&quot; where a variety of &quot;prominent experts&quot; are interviewed on important issues. This Q&amp;A features Betsy Rogers, the 2003 National Teacher of the Year (and a TLN member) who shares her thoughts on teacher leadership. One quote: &quot;I believe our first duty as teacher leaders is to seek ways to improve learning in our schools... Teacher leaders have an obligation to be a voice for children.&quot;</p> <p>Reber, K. (Jan. 2006). Teacher leadership: Answers from Dr Betsy Rogers.
