•There are typically three
pathways to teacher leadership for practicing teachers: a pathway for teachers
who leave their classrooms to move into formal administrative positions as
school leaders, a pathway for teachers who remain in their classrooms to develop
and share a deeper knowledge base about teaching with their students and
colleagues, and a pathway that bridges
the two previously mentioned paths, that is for teachers who spend part of
their time in a classroom and part of their time taking on additional
administrative and professional development responsibilities. If you were
designing a program or professional development intended to prepare teacher
leaders to take advantage of these multiple pathways, what would it look like?
What learning experiences would you include?
My program would include examples
of individuals who have completed each pathway.
I feel in order to learn which situation is best for each teacher, it is
necessary to allow others to share their experience. We as a human society should try to learn
from each other, and since teachers expect students to learn from them,
teachers should be open to learning from each other.
