21. 21. Teacher’s role as Leaders Ten Teacher’s Role
22. 22. The ways teachers can lead are as varied as teachers themselves. Teacher leaders
assume a wide range of roles to support school and student success. Whether these roles
are assigned formally or shared informally, they build the entire school's capacity to improve.
Because teachers can lead in a variety of ways, many teachers can serve as leaders among
their peers. So what are some of the leadership options available to teachers? The following
10 roles are a sampling of the many ways teachers can contribute to their schools' success.
23. 23. 1. Resource Provider Teachers help their colleagues by sharing instructional resources.
These might include Web sites, instructional materials, readings, or other resources to use
with students. They might also share such professional resources as articles, books, lesson
or unit plans, and assessment tools.
24. 24. 2. Instructional Specialist An instructional specialist helps colleagues implement effective
teaching strategies. This help might include ideas for differentiating instruction or planning
3. lessons in partnership with fellow teachers. Instructional specialists study and explore
instructional methodologies that are appropriate for the school; and share findings with
colleagues.

the curriculum link together, and how to use the curriculum in planning instruction and
assessment is essential to ensuring consistent curriculum implementation throughout a

curriculum, use common pacing charts, and develop shared assessments.

implement new ideas, often by demonstrating a lesson, co teaching, or observing and giving
feedback. Consultation with peers enhanced teachers' self-efficacy (teachers' belief in their
own abilities and capacity to successfully solve teaching and learning problems) as they
reflected on practice and grew together, and it also encouraged a bias for action
(improvement through collaboration) on the part of teachers.
27. 27. 5. Learning Facilitator Facilitating professional learning opportunities among staff
members is another role for teacher leaders. When teachers learn with and from one
another, they can focus on what most directly improves student learning. Their professional
learning becomes more relevant, focused on teachers' classroom work, and aligned to fill
gaps in student learning. Such communities of learning can break the norms of isolation
present in many schools.

teachers about instruction, curriculum, procedure, practices, and politics. Being a mentor
takes a great deal of time and expertise and makes a significant contribution to the
development of a new professional.

improvement team; acting as a grade-level or department chair; supporting school initiatives;
or representing the school on community or district task forces or committees A school
leader shares the vision of the school, aligns his or her professional goals with those of the
school and district, and shares responsibility for the success of the school as a whole.
30. 30. 8. Data Coach Although teachers have access to a great deal of data, they do not often
use that data to drive classroom instruction. Teacher leaders can lead conversations that
engage their peers in analyzing and using this information to strengthen instruction.
31. 31. 9. Catalyst for Change Teacher leaders can also be catalysts for change, visionaries who
are “never content with the status quo but rather always looking for a better way” (Larner,
2004, p. 32). Teachers who take on the catalyst role feel secure in their own work and have
a strong commitment to continual improvement. They pose questions to generate analysis of
student learning.
32. 32. 10. Learner Among the most important roles teacher leaders assume is that of learner.
Learners model continual improvement, demonstrate lifelong learning, and use what they
learn to help all students achieve.
33. 33. Roles for All Teachers exhibit leadership in multiple, sometimes overlapping, ways.
Some leadership roles are formal with designated responsibilities. Other more informal roles
emerge as teachers interact with their peers. The variety of roles ensures that teachers can
find ways to lead that fit their talents and interests. Regardless of the roles they assume,
teacher leaders shape the culture of their schools, improve student learning, and influence
practice among their peers.
34. 34. Preparing Teachers: Delivery of 21st Century Skills. Nations around the world have
undertaken wide-ranging reforms of curriculum, instruction, and assessments with the

become engaged in the learning process and to increase content knowledge , - occurs in the
community, working on projects or to sustain the school itself. Innovative learning - inside or
outside of school walls?
55. 55. ◦ Practice skills in a realistic setting, more likely to see the big picture behind what they
are learning. Field-based learning provides that opportunity. An innovative program gives
student a chance to perform work in a real-life setting. Field-Based Learning For example,
students who are learning about ancient history might spend time working on an
archeological dig in the area.
