Summary
New professional teaching standards expect teachers to demonstrate leadership in the classroom, school, district and profession. North Carolina's Asheboro City Schools will share their journey in developing a Teacher Leadership Academy designed to build leadership skiills and capacity for all teachers. In its fourth year, the academy is having a powerful impact on professional practice. This session optimizes conditions for empowering leadership with practical information for developing a local academy.
Thoughts
This is something I also loved and would like to implement in our district. I can see where it would increase networking and collaboration among teachers, as well as re-energize or motivate those that maybe feeling stagnant or burned out. Provides necessary additional skills for leadership positions in key roles and methods of communication.
