Identifying, preparing, and fairly compensating teacher leaders will take time, but several strategies can help sustain the current momentum. First, standards-based assessment and evaluation systems can lay the groundwork for differentiated career paths, teacher leader credentials, and professional pay systems. Longitudinal studies collect data on teacher leadership roles and their impact on teacher career choices, retention, and student achievement. A compendium of best practices will accompany the Teacher Leader Model Standards, and will help teacher leaders succeed.
