“Within every school there is a sleeping giant of teacher
leadership, which can be a strong catalyst for making change.”
(Katzenmeyer and Moller, 2001)
“It is time to blur the lines of distinction between those who teach and those who lead.” (Berry, 2011)
An effective teacher is the strongest predictor of student achievement. Teachers teach more effectively when they work in professional cultures where their opinions and input are valued. In such environments, administrators support teachers as they exchange ideas and strategies, problem-solve collaboratively, and consult with expert colleagues.
Twenty-first century learners deserve twenty-first-century instruction. Meeting the needs of contemporary students necessitates concerted effort. Our nation’s highest performing schools have cultures that promote collaboration and professional inquiry. Helping to create similar cultural shifts in schools across the nation would allow teachers to reach their full potential. Instead of working in isolation, for example, teachers should be able to collaborate in an environment that encourages innovation. Implementing these changes will require principals, school boards, and teachers to recalibrate their practice and their thinking.
