Experiencing Teacher Leadership is unique in the sense that it
chronicles the experiences of five novice teacher leaders as they
navigate their new roles as teacher leaders in their respective
schools. Teacher leadership is a not a new term in most educational
circles, but many educators are still unclear about the benefits of
using teachers as leaders let alone what it looks like in action.
This book takes a deep dive into the experiences, good and bad, as
five teacher leaders move in, move through, and move out of their
first year as leaders in their respective buildings. In order to do
truly appreciate and understand their experiences, qualitative
research methods, mainly interviews and observations, were used to
obtain valuable information from a first person perspective. It is
imperative that the (voice) of actual teacher leaders is heard and
documented for anyone who is interested in learning more about
school leadership that falls somewhere in between the classroom and
the administration. Quite possibly, the most beneficial feature for
the reader is to discover what these teacher leaders learned along
the way. Transitioning from the classroom to a leadership role is
difficult for many, and the first year in this new role is
certainly the most challenging. This book highlights the
challenges, but most importantly, offers practical guidance to
prepare for and overcome some of the impediments first-year teacher
leaders face.
Growing Leaders Within: A Process toward Teacher Leadership will
aid school administrators in the task of growing and empowering
teacher leaders. The goal of growing teacher leaders is to grow a
school culture of shared decision-making and collaborative
leadership. It is through this transformation that teacher leaders
help school administrators to create a laser focus on student
success. The underpinnings of the book are based on academic
research resulting in a seven-step process to growing teacher
leaders, which is distinctive from other books about teacher
leadership. Schools may have several teacher leader candidates, but
it is the responsibility of the school administration to ensure
that the right individuals are chosen to become part of the
school's leadership team. The role of teacher leadership can be
diminished if the wrong individuals are selected. In response to
this, the book offers school administrators a research-based,
pragmatic growth process that ensures the right teachers are chosen
to enter the leadership ranks at any school. Growing and empowering
teachers to be leaders is now critical in all schools.
