Of late, leadership has come to include individuals in elementary,
secondary and tertiary institutions who do not necessarily carry
leadership titles. Faculty in preK-16 institutions, along with
other staff and community people, have increasingly begun to take
on leadership responsibilities as shared leadership is articulated
and practiced more and more in education. This volume focuses on
educational leadership--broadly defined. More specifically,
following several research-based thought pieces in which the
authors define and discuss this new conception of leadership,
contributors offer preK-16 case study illustrations of this recent
conception of educational leadership. Readers will use this
casebook as a foundational text for courses in teacher education,
educational leadership, business and higher education. It includes
detailed chapters focused on teacher leadership, principal
leadership and higher educational leadership.

The term "teacher leadership" is not without its problems, since
some interpret it to have both corporate and hierarchical
implications. Stewardship as Teacher Leadership: Portraits from the
Profession discusses the impact of changing that language to
stewardship, a term that in more inclusive, more professional, and
more morally-based. At a time when the work of teachers is
critiqued and denigrated, the concept of stewardship within the
profession better supports the efforts of all teachers, but
particularly early career teachers. Stewards have the best
interests of the profession at the forefront of their actions.
Through the "portraits" of a variety of teachers, readers of
Stewardship as Teacher Leadership will engage with and recognize
how teachers are stewards as they make intentional and deliberate
choices in their daily work that have lasting impacts on their
relationships with colleagues, their school programs, and the
profession in a multiplicity of ways that traditional teacher
leadership models often miss.
