The Teacher and Principal Relationship with the Principal as Leader
Research indicate that the primary role of the principal is that of
the school "leader." The decision a principal makes concerning the issue
of instructional leadership and the extent to which that principal
develops the skills needed to exercise appropriate instructional
leadership will influence what does or does not happen in classrooms
throughout the country. Marks and Printy (2003) agree that the
importance of the instructional leadership responsibilities of the
principal cannot be ignored, nor can the reality that good leadership
skills are seldom practiced. Principals require information and skills
in order to support practices of instructional leadership in their
schools. They need to know what effective instructional leadership is
and how to become an effective instructional leader. Tasks to be
accomplished encompass those of supervision and evaluation of
instruction, of staff development activities, of curriculum development
knowledge and activities, of group development knowledge and activities,
of action research, of development of a positive school climate,….

The study itself was based in a rural southern school of 720 students and 62 teachers...During professional development days, nine teachers were asked to present a program that focused on a particular effective teaching practice in which they excelled based upon the evaluations, both formal and informal, of the campus administration" (ickey & arris, 2005: 4).It was thus a school-specific professional leadership plan, not one connected to a lager leadership theory or methodology of teaching, hence, the article contends, its greater usefulness to practitioners. It also acted as a facilitator of greater collegiality amongst educators.
The sessions also had quantitatively and qualitatively-based feedback evaluation surveys. "In evaluating the experience, 63.4% of the teachers had positive feelings about professional development when teachers were used within the district to share expertise" and expressed positive feelings about being led by peers to improve school policy (ickey & arris, 2005: 4; 5). The district….

Leadership in Action
The process of planning for the teacher leadership initiative from the identification of a need/issue to address to action planning and determining measures for evaluation can be regarded as collaborative action research. Lee, Sachs & Wheeler (2014) contend that teachers can carry out action research through taking what their learning activities in the classroom and leveraging it to help enhance the performance of the school community. Together with my colleagues from the innovation council for change and technology inclusion, we undertook a teacher leadership initiative that was geared towards enhancing the adoption of technology and online resources in teaching practice. This process is geared towards promoting collaboration between veteran teachers and novice leaders in order to improve teaching practice in a manner that helps in meeting the needs of the 21st Century students/learners.
The teacher leadership initiative we undertook is a form of collaborative action research process because it….

Influence is important in transactional leadership, not pure dictatorship.
Still, deciding upon a new mode of curriculum instruction to improve scores on a school wide basis would best be served by soliciting input from a number of sources in the triadic mode, according to the article. The need to facilitate effective and equal dialogue between teaching colleagues in the field is one of the strengths of a sharing approach to leadership. Teachers can pool resources, for example, as to what methods they currently use and what changes might be helpful. Parents can provide input about student frustrations, and administrators can examine the feasibility of new programs. Breaking down barriers is another positive aspect of this mode, as well as giving teachers leadership roles outside of their immediate classroom domains.

The article persuades the reader that changes must take place from the ground up, focusing on individual classrooms, although there is a….

Teacher leadership is a concept that refers to the simultaneous administrative roles and classroom educator roles that teachers play in the modern school environment. The emergence of this concept in the modern educational environment is attributable to the fact that teachers are increasingly assuming roles that are beyond the classroom environment. In essence, teachers play various roles in the school setting that are geared towards creating a safe learning environment for all students. The professional community of teachers at my school focuses on enhancing teacher leadership through promoting collaboration between teachers regarding their professional work, assessment of student learning, and evaluation of student data. The school’s professional community promotes individual commitment and collective mobilization, which helps in enhancing the roles of teachers as leaders in the learning environment.
An example of a situation where I provided leadership in my school involves a situation where many girls in my class were not….

Article Review: Leadership and Change According to Ankrum (2016) in his article “Utilizing Teacher Leadership as a Catalyst for Change in Schools,” teachers are an often-underused resource for schools to institute meaningful changes and to provide critical data to educational administrators to support new initiatives. Rather than viewing teachers as passive followers, they should be viewed as active participants in the change process. The article is founded upon a concept of leadership theory known as distributed leadership (versus charismatic or visionary leadership) which suggests that leadership is best distributed in different ways throughout an organization for it to function effectively. Given the individualized nature of instruction and the fact that teachers do function in many ways already as de facto leaders in the classroom, this would seem like an appropriate paradigm.
Teacher leadership, the article notes, can take formal and informal roles. Teachers as a whole are already more apt than other….

Teacher Leadership: Opportunities and ChallengesTeacher leadership is what paves the way for teachers to have an influential impact on decision-making regarding the betterment of schools. It is something that helps cultivate an environment of collaboration and ongoing learning (Ackerman & Mackenzie, 2007). It is necessary and vitalbut becoming a teacher leader is not easy. Two areas from the Carnegie list that resonate with me are curriculum development and implementation, and professional development and training. In my view, we need a regular review and update of the curriculum so as to better affect positive student outcomes. Teachers also need access to the latest tools and strategies (Barth, 2007). Still, we are met with resistance to change. Many teachers are reluctant to embrace new content or methodologies. We are met with a lack of resources. The money, time, and manpower simply are not there in a lot of cases. We are met….

One example of this flaw is found in the third force in Sergiovanni's model, the educational force, which is associated with gathering and analyzing specialized knowledge applicable to education (Victoria Department of Education 2007). At the private senior school where I am employed, certain school leaders have certainly mastered the educational force and have amassed a wide range of specialized educational knowledge, but their inability to interact effectively with their colleagues in the school has rendered this knowledge largely useless. In fact, the interpersonal difficulties that these leaders have in dealing with others have led to a certain level of resentment regarding such information as it has become attached to hostile personalities.

Yet despite this apparent flaw of Sergiovanni's hierarchy, the actual identification and separation of the forces in his Model of ransformational Leadership still holds up to examination. hese first three forces taken separately paint a nearly complete picture of….

Teacher LeadershipTeacher leadership can be described as the power to influence, affect, change, and direct students, peers, families, and communities so as to improve both learning practices and student achievement outcomes (Danielson, 2006). One of the most compelling benefits that teacher leadership brings to students is the enhancement and enrichment of the learning environment. When teachers become leaders, they create a culture of innovation and collaboration that enables students to rise up to the level of leadership, too. In other words, teacher leadership supports the growth and development of the learner to become a leader.For others teachers, I would say that one of the most significant benefits of teacher leadership is the opportunity for greater professional growth. Acting as a leader usually means there are chances for professional development. These chances help to increase the effectiveness of teaching practices and raise the standards of the teaching community as a whole.….

eflective Essay on Teacher LeadershipIntroductionThis course has been very helpful in giving me a sense of what it means to be a teacher who leads. As I reflect on the values, goals, skills, and dispositions assessments conducted in the initial weeks, I can see how well I have grown and identify areas for continuous improvement. Here, I will discuss my greatest insights, hopes, concerns, and plans for future development in teacher leadership.Greatest Insight from the CourseMy greatest insight from the course is the impact that teacher leadership has on student learning and the overall school environment. I now understand that teacher leadership involves influencing colleagues, advocating for change, and developing a culture of continuous learning (Hollis, 2018). One point of importance, in particular, is the ability to engage in collaborative professional learning, as highlighted by Danielson (2006). Indeed, this is what separates teacher leaders from their peers.Greatest Hope and Concern….

Teacher leader(s) is an individual teacher or a group of teachers who can influence their fellow teachers, the principal and other members of the communities of the school so as to improve learning and teaching practices. The aim of teacher leaders is the increase of student learning as well their achievement. Teacher leaders are therefore facilitators within the school and are important elements when it comes to the spread and strengthening of reforms and improvements in schools. The definition of teacher leadership gives it value as well as making it realistic and an accelerated process of progress towards development of leaders in the community (WETA Washington DC, 2013).
Individual capabilities

There are various individual capabilities that enable a person to be a good leader in an organization. Team leadership ability is one of the capabilities I possess as a teacher. This means that I can drive students and my colleagues towards the….

Leadership Style
Perhaps it is the subliminal desire to be a teacher. Or maybe it is that I never had the opportunity to actually stand in front of a room and instruct. Whatever the reason, I see myself falling into the leadership role of teacher and mentor.

A enjoy the different personalities and styles of people. That could be one of the motivations for being inclined toward this type of leadership. Teaching or mentoring is a very interpersonal type of leadership style. I get satisfaction from seeing and encouraging others and sharing information with them. In return, I learn a great deal from them as well. I also gain greater self-esteem when people tell me I am doing a good job or thank me for helping out. It is a real boost to the ego.

In a classroom setting, at parties and casually talking with friends, when playing sports and in meetings, I….

49). That goes for leaders in the learning community as well. Thessin asserts that while it is important to teach students to solve problems, there is a lack of focus on another important, related goal: "the need for teachers to learn to do the same" (49). Teachers are leaders and they must be given the training to develop problem solving skills along with the other important skills mentioned in this paper.
