  • One theme that resonated with me was discussing the knowledge and skill sets needed for teachers beginning to explore their leadership potential. While many schools and districts offer new teacher mentoring programs, there is a lack of formal programs or supports for emerging teacher leaders.
  • Effective teachers develop a range of knowledge and skills from managing a classroom community and helping students learn. But beyond the competence of subject matter knowledge, teachers may also develop skillsets in pedagogy and other areas.
  • teacher leaders need to work collaboratively with administration in order for teacher leadership to be the norm throughout a school.

  • This normalization of a teacher leadership culture requires administrators dedicated to a distributed school leadership model, but also requires teacher leaders who are able to critically analyze and problem solve school wide issues.
  • "Teacher leaders need to turn around every now and then and look, if no one if following, they are not leading. And knowing a lot about topic is not helpful if it can't be explained in a way that encourages the right people to listen." There is a critical difference between being an "expert" and "leader." Experts know a lot about their area of expertise. But teacher leaders in formal roles are responsible for the direction of a group of people, and apply themselves in a way that allows them to constructively meet the challenges of that responsibility.

  • A new analysis of federal data suggests that minority teacher shortages are caused not by a lack of minority candidates entering the profession but by unsatisfactory working conditions in schools.
  • minority teachers, who are more likely to work in hard-to-staff urban schools, tend to leave their jobs at a much higher rate than their white counterparts, creating a "revolving door" effect.
  • ngersoll and May find that minority teachers' decisions to leave a school are most often related to dissatisfaction with their working conditions—particularly with "the level of collective faculty decision-making influence in the school and the degree of instructional autonomy held by teachers in their classroom." In other words, these teachers often feel a lack of professional control and independence.
