The book discusses the challenges that many teacher leaders face, including: Deciding to accept a leadership role Building principal-teacher leader relationships Working with peers Facilitating professional learning for themselves and others Review The ultimate for those who promote teacher leadership and those who would be teacher leaders. -- Roland S.

Filled with new surveys, tools, and suggestions for today’s teacher leader, the newest edition is simply a must-read for anyone driving meaningful change in the classrooms of our country. -- Bill Ferriter, Senior Fellow Published On: 2009-01-09 Katzenmeyer and Moller usher in a new age of teacher leadership, an age of mutuality in learning and leading, broad-based participation, and shared responsibility.
