Looking Back, Looking Forward: Exploring Conceptual Frameworks of Teacher Leadership

Fri, April 13, 4:05 to 6:05pm, New York Hilton Midtown, Floor: Concourse Level, Concourse A Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel seeks to address a common critique in the field of teacher leadership about the need for a coherent framework and definition. The critique posits that one of the stumbling blocks in the field is the limited consensus on both what teacher leadership is as well as what frameworks for making sense of it are most fruitful for research and action. In this panel, we take up this critique by offering three conceptual visions of teacher leadership, and two research studies which problematize the notions of teacher leadership. We suggest that historically and conceptually there continue to be multiple ways of both defining and conceptualizing teacher leadership and here we attempt to articulate and develop those concepts.
