Prompt 2

Chapter 8 discusses the promotion of teacher leadership within our district and our schools.  In your opinion, what are the school conditions that promote the emergence of teacher leaders?

Prompt 1

On page 84, it reads, “No school can offer an exemplary instructional program to its students without the devoted work of its teachers.  Teacher leaders, by mobilizing the energy of their colleagues, have a significant influence on the quality of that program.”

My question to you -- in what ways are you, as teacher leaders, able (or not) to influence the quality of teaching and learning in our district?  What are your reflections about that statement?  Additional insights?  Please feel free to respond to this prompt, or begin a new discussion on the topic of your choice.
