Abstract

Teachers as leaders or teacher leadership is not a new idea. Teachers have served as team leaders, department chairs, curriculum and staff developers for many years. However, beyond the title given, teacher leadership roles have been very limited in scope. Most teacher leadership positions have existed at the whim of administration or within a hierarchical structure of decision making where the teacher had no real leadership power or role. This article discusses the importance of teachers moving out of managerial roles into real leadership roles. As this transformation comes about, real educational change will take place and with it will come empowered teacher leaders.
