THE ROLE OF TEACHER LEADERS

CHARACTERISTICS OF A TEACHER LEADER

"Teacher leaders find and invent opportunities to lead and to maintain connections to classroom practice." Lieberman, A., & Miller, L. (2005)

"Teacher leaders "go public" with their understandings about students, learning, and teaching, thereby influencing other teachers and impacting the culture of their schools." Lieberman, A., & Miller, L. (2005)

"Teacher leaders inquire into their own practice and, in so doing, become articulate about learning, teaching, and modeling lifelong learning." Lieberman, A., & Miller, L. (2005)

"Teacher leaders are sensitive to context and culture; they know that different contests and populations require different approaches to leadership. As in teaching one size does not fit all." Lieberman, A., & Miller, L. (2005)

"Teacher leaders reproduce these communities of practice when they work with novice and veteran teachers and create safe environments for professional learning." Lieberman, A., & Miller, L. (2005)

"Teacher leaders learn to lead in communities of practice that promote colleagueship and support risk-taking and experimentation." Lieberman, A., & Miller, L. (2005)

"when teachers lead, they help to create an environtment for learning that has influence throughout the school community and affects students and teachers alike." Lieberman, A., & Miller, L. (2005)

THE EFFECT OF TEACHER LEADERS ON teachers

teacher leaders support their colleagues by sharing innovative ideas and resources (Collinson, 2012; Fairman and Mackenzie, 2015),

teacher leaders effectively influence their peers by providing support Collinson (2012)

Regarding methods of influence, York-Barr and Duke (2004) determined that teacher leaders primarily impact others by cultivating trust-based relationships and fostering professional collaboration.

THE EFFECT OF TEACHER LEADERS ON STUDENTS

Teacher leadership can make a dramatic difference for their students’ achievements in school.

“Leader teachers adopt a combination of four different leadership behaviors that successfully influence students' motivation to perform well. Guiding, supportive, participating and performance oriented” (Öqvist & Malmström, 2016).

Leader teachers improve teaching and learning practices in order to increase student achievement in the classroom and beyond (york-Barr & Duke, 2004).

Dealing with issues

How a teacher leader uses technology in the classroom

Fear of technology

With so many reforms, teacher leaders felt that teachers are not getting the depth of professional development they need to prepare them for the change. Jacobs, J., Gordon, S. P., & Solis, R. (2016)

It is imperative that we use the power of technology to improve the methods of teaching and learning. The constant emergence of technological advancements offers us a remarkable change to reshape our approach to education, transforming this challenge into an opportunity for both educators and students. In today's world, younger generations love technology, making it a tool for facilitating learning, will enhance student’s engagement and will facilitate the elaboration of instructional materials.

“Principal support is number one. Knowing that your principal has trust, faith, and supports your decisions, makes feel teachers empowered.”Jacobs, J., Gordon, S. P., & Solis, R. (2016)

Teachers’ resistance to change

A major barrier to successful teacher leadership. Some teachers simply are comfortable with the way things are and have a low capacity for change. Jacobs, J., Gordon, S. P., & Solis, R. (2016)

Diversity

The demographics of classrooms across the nation continue to become more culturally and linguistically diverse. As achievement gaps and inequi ties within education continue, and even worsen, how do teacher leaders understand and respond to diversity? Jacobs, J., Gordon, S. P., & Solis, R. (2016)
