EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP

Leaders are people who do right things.Manager are people who do things Right. Peter Drucker

Leadership is an act of influencing others to perform and engage them in achieving a goal.

A leader steps up in the time of crisis and is able to think and act creatively in different situations.

Let’s start with what leadership is not……

Leadership has nothing to do with seniority or one’s position in the hierarchy.

Leadership has nothing to do with titles.

Leadership has nothing to do with personal attributes.

Leadership is not Management.

As we look in to next century, leaders will be those who empower others.

Bill Gates

• Leadership is influence- nothing more, nothing less.

John Maxwell

• Leadership is an extra push. Koontz

• TRAIT THEORY: It is in some ways to Great Man theories, trait theories assume that people inherit certain qualities and traits that make them better suited to leadership. Trait theories often identify particular personality or behavioral characteristics shared by leaders.

Situational Theory

Leadership is the product of situational demand: situational factors determine who will emerge as a leader rather than a person’s heritage. The emergence of a great leader is the result of time, place and circumstances.

Contingency theories of leadership focus on particular variables related to the environment that might determine which particular style of leadership is best suited for the situation.

Ten Roles for Teacher LeadersTeacher leaders assume a wide range of roles to support school and student success. Whether these roles are

assigned formally or shared informally, they build the entire school's capacity to improve. Because teachers can lead in a variety of ways, many teachers can serve

as leaders among their peers.

1. RESOURCE PROVIDER

Teachers help their colleagues by sharing instructional resources. These might include Web sites, instructional materials, readings, or other resources to use with students. They might also share such professional resources as articles, books, lesson or unit plans, and assessment tools.

Tinisha becomes a resource provider when she offers to help Carissa, a new staff member in her second career, set up her classroom. Tinisha gives Carissa extra copies of a number line for her students to use, signs to post on the wall that explain to students how to get help when the teacher is busy, and the grade-level language arts pacing guide.

2. INSTRUCTIONAL SPECIALISTAn instructional specialist helps colleagues implement effective teaching strategies. This help might include ideas for differentiating instruction or planning lessons in partnership with fellow teachers. Instructional specialists might study research-based classroom strategies; explore which instructional methodologies are appropriate for the school and share findings with colleagues.

3.CURRICULUM SPECIALISTunderstanding content standards, how

various components of the curriculum link together, and how to use the curriculum in

planning instruction and assessment is essential to ensuring consistent curriculum

implementation throughout a school. curriculum specialists lead teachers to

agree on standards, follow the adopted curriculum, use common pacing charts,

and develop shared assessments.

4. MENTORServing as a mentor for novice teachers is a common role for

teacher leaders. Mentors serve as role models; acclimate new

teachers to a new school; and advise new teachers about

instruction, curriculum, procedure, practices, and politics. Being a

mentor takes a great deal of time and expertise and makes a

significant contribution to the development of a new

professional.

5. LEARNING FACILITATOR

Facilitating professional learning opportunities among staff members is

another role for teacher leaders. When teachers learn with and from one

another, they can focus on what most directly improves student learning. Their

professional learning becomes more relevant, focused on teachers' classroom

work, and aligned to fill gaps in student learning. Such communities of learning

can break the norms of isolation present in many schools.

6. CLASSROOM SUPPORTERClassroom supporters work inside

classrooms to help teachers implement new ideas, often by demonstrating a

lesson, co-teaching, or observing and giving feedback. BLASÉ& BLASE found that

consultation with peersenhanced teachers' self-efficacy (teachers' belief in their own abilities and capacity to

successfully solve teaching and learning problems) as they reflected on practice

and grew together, and it also encouraged a bias for action (improvement through collaboration) on the part of teachers.

7. SCHOOL LEADERBeing a school leader means serving on a

committee, such as a school improvement team; acting as a grade-level or department chair; supporting school initiatives; or representing the school on community or district task

forces or committees. A school leader shares the vision of the school, aligns his

or her professional goals with those of the school and district, and shares

responsibility for the success of the school as a whole.

8. DATA COACHAlthough teachers have

access to a great deal of data, they do not often

use that data to drive classroom instruction.

Teacher leaders can lead conversations that

engage their peers in analyzing and using this

information to strengthen instruction.

9. CATALYST FOR CHANGETeacher leaders can also be catalysts

for change, visionaries who are “never content with the status quo

but rather always looking for a better way” (Larner). Teachers who take on the catalyst role feel secure in their

own work and have a strong commitment to continual

improvement. They pose questions to generate analysis of student learning.

10. LEARNERAmong the most

important roles teacher leaders assume is that

of learner. Learners model continual

improvement, demonstrate lifelong

learning, and use what they learn to help all

students achieve.
