Within the pages of this book you will meet six, K-12, practicing,
public school administrators, and two university instructors who
give concise study-and-practice guidance on two aims; 1) to build
the awareness and capabilities to become a lead professional for
democratic ways of living, and 2) to develop the school culture
needed to support this teacher leadership. Teacher leadership is
not in addition to the many initiatives administrators face each
day. Rather, you will read stories about teacher leadership
incorporated into the initiatives that already exist. By
distributing leadership, administrators organically utilize the
gifts and talents that individual teachers already possess defying
prescripted roles and specific job descriptions. A key feature in
this text is its problem-solving orientation, and the interplay
among teaching/learning/leading research that raises critical
questions for professionals ready to understand the nuances of
educational growth in societies with democratic ideals. In spite of
the political demands for efficiency and accountability, six
administrators worked with teacher leaders in different contexts to
develop and exercise the wisdom, which honors the democratic ideals
upon which our society was built.
