Featuring a diverse and distinguished group of scholars, this volume provides a much-needed, research-based analysis of nonsupervisory, school-based, instructional leadership. Frequently referred to as teacher leaders, specialists, or coaches, these new positions have the potential to provide teachers with the skills and knowledge necessary for continued instructional improvement and, ultimately, enhanced student learning. This authoritative collection presents both qualitative and quantitative evidence on the enactment, design, conditions, constraints, and successes of this type of instructional leadership. This book offers important lessons for the improvement of policy and practice.

Beyond Efficiency in Leadership sets out to address the question: Can Teacher Leadership move beyond efficiency and effectively create desired changes in our social institutions? When does one become a teacher leader? Is the assigned Administrative Leadership positions equivalent to Teacher Leadership? Apart from addressing the various theories and styles in leadership, it also attempts to redefine leadership in light of the dictates of the twenty-first century. On the whole, the book sets out on the premise that teacher leaders do not necessarily have to seek administrative positions in their respective schools. Rather, every teacher can exert positive influence to the society through setting good examples, quality teaching, research, mentoring, and publications among others. It builds its theoretical framework from Nelson Mandela's (1918-2013) famous statement, "Lead from the back - and let others believe they are in front." By insisting that leadership by example is the better option, the author is at pains to point out why our institutions are failing the tests of time. It is recommended to all shades of leadership, educators, and students of all disciplines globally.

Interest in and knowledge of leadership and learning, separately and together, is an international and continuing phenomenon. This book adds to a somewhat under-researched aspect of the field. It focuses both on a particular form of leadership – teacher leadership, and on a particular form of learning – professional development. It considers the connection between teacher leadership and professional development and the first chapter relates this connection to a ‘Leadership for Learning’ conceptual framework, developed through an international, three-year project. The book’s chapters explore teacher leadership and professional development from a number of perspectives, giving rise to three points of particular significance. Firstly the chapters show that, either by accident or design, there is a growing cadre of teacher leaders emerging from a multitude of professional development activities and initiatives. Secondly, a number of new conceptual frameworks are put forward, alongside the adaption and development of extant ones that add to the ever-increasing theorisation of educational leadership and professional development literature. Thirdly, the chapters provide evidence of the connections between leadership and learning as conceptualised in the ‘Leadership for Learning’ framework. This book was originally published as a special issue of Professional Development in Education.

Learning to Be Teacher Leaders examines three integrated components of strong pedagogy - assessment, planning, and instruction - within a framework emphasizing the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that can empower teachers to become teacher leaders within their schools. Woven throughout are a student-centered stance toward assessment, planning, and instruction and a teacher-centered stance toward leadership. At the same time, the text recognizes the outside factors that can challenge this approach and provides strategies for coping with them. Combining the what, why, and how of teaching, the research-based concepts are presented in a pragmatic format, relevant across grade levels, classrooms, and content areas. Designed to be specifically helpful in supporting success of national licensure assessments, this comprehensive text brings together in one place the important features of learning to be an effective teacher and becoming a teacher leader who continues to grow and develop within the profession. Using this book as a guide and resource, preservice and and beginning teachers will focus on the most important factors in teaching, resulting in strengthening their pedagogy and developing a language that helps them move forward in terms of agency and advocacy. A Companion Website provides additional resources for instructors and students. -- from back cover.

A toolkit of field-tested strategies to help teacher leaders maximize their effectiveness. The teacher leaders who get the best results are the ones who explore the role's full potential, but it can be a challenge to get beyond a basic understanding of the responsibilities involved.

Unleashing Teacher Leadership presents best practices and tools that teacher leaders can use to unlock their own power and drive lasting instructional improvement across schools and districts. Current and future teacher leaders will learn how to * Examine their context as instructional experts. * Understand their approach to leadership and how to work with other leaders in their school. * Develop expertise in evidence-based instructional practice. * Support the implementation of high-quality curriculum. * Build effective learning environments and support colleagues' efforts to do the same. * Understand how to use data and assessment to support student learning and inform instructional practice. * Acquire coaching skills to help build colleagues' capacity. * Lead effective collaboration and scale teacher effectiveness. * Use their voice to influence decisions that affect students and fellow teachers. Along with guidance on these practices and skills, readers will get the perspectives of teacher leaders engaged in this work and acquire dozens of NIET-developed tools they can use to unleash the power of effective teacher leadership in their own school and district.

Every school relies on teachers who informally and voluntarily lead various efforts in the school. These teachers may not be appointed leaders or paid leaders, but they are committed leaders: they see a need and they respond to it. What do these teacher leaders do that is different from the work of excellent teachers who are not teacher leaders? If we can articulate those skills, says Charlotte Danielson, then we can take steps to enable more teachers to develop those skills and be better equipped to tackle special projects. Teacher Leadership That Strengthens Professional Practice is designed to be a resource not only for prospective teacher leaders but also for administrators who want to better support the development of outstanding teacher leaders. Teachers seeking to expand their leadership capacity will learn how to * recognize an opportunity and take initiative, * mobilize colleagues around a common purpose, * marshal resources and take action, * monitor and adjust the initiative, * sustain the commitments of others, and * contribute to the learning organization. Administrators will find advice on how to cultivate, promote, honor, and empower teacher leaders--and how to work with them to successfully present innovations to the school community. In short, this book gives individuals and schools a practical framework for tapping teachers' leadership potential and marshaling their efforts to better educate students and create a stronger learning community. As Danielson convincingly shows, genuine teacher leadership is a powerful force for constructive change.
