  • danieldmccabe Nov 26 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1 A teacher leader is someone who doesn't need a title to lead. They are positive, they find solutions, and they don't complain. It's all about mindset. I'm fortunate to work with a lot of them! #NYEDchat

    A1 Teacher leaders should feel empowered and trusted to try out new ideas and lead the way in doing so. We began teacher-led SIP sub-teams this year and staff members have stepped up to take the lead- if they ask for support in anyway, it’s a yes...they do not hear no! #NYEDChat

    A1 We’ve done this through staff wide Edcamps on conference days. Since I’m a TOSA, I try to foster this by helping raise awareness to where opportunities for collaboration exist outside the school walls. Sometimes a leader is down the hall, sometimes down a few states! #nyedchat

    #nyedchat teachers naturally have a desire to learn and grow. To be a great teacher you also have to be a great student- collaboration is born from this process and future teacher leaders will naturally rise to the expectation of collaboration if given support&feeedom to do so
  • AmarisScalia Nov 26 @ 8:15 PM EST
    A2 Encouraging teachers to lead sessions during collaborative time is a great way to grow T leaders- we are just starting to offer different session choices for our PLC meetings and teachers have expressed that want to lead them. #NYEDChat

  • LisaMeade23 Nov 26 @ 8:16 PM EST
    Best teacher leaders give and take trust for/of the work. It's not personal or about being popular. It's about doing what's best for kids. #nyedchat
  • msjosephsci Nov 26 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2: we’ve held full day PD where teacher leaders show best practices or areas of risk taking. It’s validating but also allows for valuable feedback #NYEDChat
