Two problems that this Teacher Leader Development Course addresses:

Problem #1

All too often we label teachers as leaders but don’t empower them with a clear vision of what we expect them to do and how to do it.

By completing this Book Study you will:

  1. Broaden your perspective on the leadership skills and attributes required to succeed as a leader in your school.
  2. Surface new ideas for leading collaboration that will improve teaching and learning across the school.
  3. Ensure buy-in to large initiatives that stretch the capacity of leaders across the school.
  4. Ensure middle leaders align top level objectives of senior leaders with the needs and interests of their team members.
  5. Create a forum for job embedded professional development that holds leaders across the school accountable for identifying, understanding and overcoming shared challenges.


Problem #2

Even if we are able to ensure that teachers leaders are clear on what is expected of them and they are bought into achieving senior leadership’s top level objectives, they still need to overcome a myriad of challenges within their team, which aren’t always transparent and often surface much later in the school year.


This self-guided leadership development course will help you:

  1. Align with senior leaders to ensure their active support.
  2. Understand how to set goals that align the top level objectives of senior leaders with the needs and interests of team members.
  3. Develop a Sandbox for teachers to collaborate free from the myriad of distractions and obstacles that prevent transformational collaboration, including the obstacle of time. 
  4. Understand how team develop in stages and what how their responsibilities and leadership objectives change during each stage.
  5. Understand how to mitigate difficult behaviors and engage in professional learning conversations that build consensus on moving forward.
