Teacher leadership - LIEBERMAN; Miller (San Francisco : Jossey-Bass, 2004)
In teacher leadership Lieberman and Miller discuss current changes in the teacher's role, and make sense of the research on teacher leadership.They offer case studies of innovative programs-such as the National Writing Project-that provide teachers with opportunities to lead within a professional community.In addition, they tell stories of individual teachers-from Maine to California-who are able to lead in a variety of contexts.Teacher leadership offers a new standard of teaching and community that recognizes all teachers as leaders.It shows how to develop learning communities that include rather than exclude,create knowledge rather than merely apply it,and that offer challenge and support to both new and experienced teachers.
