  In Roundtable Session: 49.088-6 - International Perspectives on Teacher Leader Development

Abstract

Large scale instructional reforms will require skilled teacher leaders who can manage simultaneous top-down pressures and bottom-up supports. In this pre-post survey study we examine the development of a variety of informal and formal teacher leadership skills and competencies over time during a job-embedded graduate program. The study has implications for teacher leadership programs focused on supporting instructional improvements within and beyond classroom walls.
