31 Brian Lord and Barbara Miller 2000 <p> <br /> In this paper prepared for the National Commission on Mathematics and Science Teaching for the 21st Century authors Brian Lord and Barbara Miller explore whether teacher leadership might be &quot;an appealing and inescapable force in school reform.&quot; They believe the more typical approach to teacher leadership -- using teachers as professional development providers -- has limited promise. &quot;Yet, when teachers leaders are part of a wider, systemic strategy, within a well-aligned constellation of district supports,&quot; they say, teacher leadership can be &quot;a critical feature in a coherent and focused set of district policies to address the substantive challenges of reform.&quot; (55k Word document.) </p> <p> Citation: Lord, B. &amp; Miller, B.
