  • Learn how to inspire teachers to lead in this new
    era of PARCC and improve student progress and
    performance.

What is teacher leadership?
  • Teacher leadership is the process by which
    teachers, individually or collectively, influence
    their colleagues, principals, and other members
    of the school community to improve teaching and
    learning practices with the aim of increased
    student learning and achievement.
  • Teacher leadership is the process by which
    teachers, individually or collectively, influence

    with the aim of increased student learning and

What is Teacher Leadership?
What Is Actually Getting Done
What You Know Needs To Get Done

Teacher LeadersPromoting School and Student
Success
10
Turn Talk
  • How does your district/school define and promote
    teacher leadership?

11
Why Now in This Era of PARRC?
  • Highly effective teachers directly impact student
    learning
  • Teacher leaders lead and influence change
  • Teacher leaders support and train colleagues

12
Did you know?
  • Teacher leadership needs to be formalized and
    funded because there will be 2 million new
    teachers in classrooms around North America in
    the next six years, and they need leaders in the
    classroom that they can look up to and learn from
    as they negotiate through their first years of
    teaching.
  • Becky Pringle, NEA

13
Did you also know?
  • When districts fail to use high-performing
    teachers to support their colleagues growth and
    development, administrators and coaches remain
    overburdened, and teachers-as well as many
    students are left lacking individualized support.
  • Rachel Curtis, Aspen Institute

14
Research
  • Principals satisfaction with their jobs in the
    public schools has decreased nine percentage
    points since it was last measured in 2008. In
    that same period, teacher satisfaction has
    dropped precipitously by 23 percentage points,
    including a five-point decrease in the last year,
    to the lowest level it has been in the survey in
    25 years. A majority of teachers report that they
    feel under great stress at least several days a
    week, a significant increase from 1985 when this
  • was last measured.
  • MetLife Survey 2013

15
More Research
  • Teachers in the US spend 80 of their work day
    directly interacting with students, compared to
    60 of other industrialized countries. That
    leaves them less time to analyze data, plan
    instruction, and collaborate with colleagues, all
    activities that research ties to improvement in
    instruction and student outcomes.

16
Potential Barriers
  • Culture of district does not embrace teacher
    leadership
  • Trust is not established among administration and
    teaching team
  • Too much top-down leadership
  • Teachers expertise and professionalism are
    undervalued
  • Teacher leadership opportunities are limited
