Teacher leadership is a not a new term in most educational circles, but many educators are still unclear about the benefits of using teachers as leaders let alone what it looks like in action. This book takes a deep dive into the experiences, good and bad, as five teacher leaders move in, move through, and move out of their first year as leaders in their respective buildings. In order to do truly appreciate and understand their experiences, qualitative research methods, mainly interviews and observations, were used to obtain valuable information from a first person perspective. It is imperative that the (voice) of actual teacher leaders is heard and documented for anyone who is interested in learning more about school leadership that falls somewhere in between the classroom and the administration. Quite possibly, the most beneficial feature for the reader is to discover what these teacher leaders learned along the way. Transitioning from the classroom to a leadership role is difficult for many, and the first year in this new role is certainly the most challenging. This book highlights the challenges, but most importantly, offers practical guidance to prepare for and overcome some of the impediments first-year teacher leaders face.; Foreword Preface Acknowledgements Introduction Chapter 1- Setting the Stage Chapter 2- Moving-In: Planning and Preparation Chapter 3- Moving-Through: Ignorance is Bliss Chapter 4- Moving-Through: The Search for Affirmation Chapter 5- Moving-Out: Planning for the Future Chapter 6- Perceptions of Leadership Growth Final Thoughts about Growing Teacher Leaders Appendix A Appendix B Appendix C Appendix D Bibliography About the Author; Google Preview content
