    A1: Teacher Leaders are essential to the success of the learning organization and need to be empowered to make decisions, solve problems, advocate for children and the profession. Every teacher is a leader! #satchat
  • MrKoz31 Sep 8 @ 7:37 AM EDT
    A1: Teacher leaders don’t necessarily have a title and stipend. I often get more ideas and growth from Ts in the building who lead from the back. Bottom up approach is almost always better IMHO #satchat
  • betavt Sep 8 @ 7:37 AM EDT
    A1 - empowering leadership throughout a system is key. Students included - it’s one of the Targets in our systems Action Plan #fwsu #satchat
  • techtimj Sep 8 @ 7:38 AM EDT
    A1: T leaders can play a valuable role from T induction to providing turnkey training to involvement in decision making and initiatives. T leaders can provide a different perspective and influence from a role that can often positively impact others #satchat
  • lookforsun Sep 8 @ 7:38 AM EDT
    So rather than lots of individual teachers rising, teams are rising w/leadership--together we lead Ss, team w/families/admin, forward policy, projects that matter. I think this may be the key to transforming schools. #satchat
    In reply to @ScottRRocco
  • CyndiWms5 Sep 8 @ 7:38 AM EDT
    A1: Lead learners...modeling, learning alongside Ss, sharing their thinking, taking risks #satchat #RU_EDEL #RU_EDET
  • MsJWhiting Sep 8 @ 7:38 AM EDT
    A1 Teacher Leaders have a bias toward action. They invest (time, energy & money) in their own learning, they listen to colleagues and serve as mirror for the potential have others and might not yet recognize #satchat
  • ScottRRocco - Moderator Sep 8 @ 7:38 AM EDT
    Q1: #satchat Q1: Teacher Leaders can have many roles and responsibilities. How do you see the role of a teacher leader in your school or district? #satchat Article resource: https://t.co/A8dvqNiQES
  • MaryHadley8 Sep 8 @ 7:38 AM EDT
    A1: Teacher Leaders are team players that support colleagues in a variety of ways. Together we work smarter, not harder. Student Success is the goal. #satchat
  • BrianHerb17 Sep 8 @ 7:38 AM EDT
    A1 I think the key is that they are making an impact beyond their classroom. They could be setting an example for other teachers to follow, bringing new tech to the school, or contributing decision making. But they need to take steps to bring their innovations to others. #satchat
  • Gregbagby Sep 8 @ 7:38 AM EDT
    A1) Teacher leaders that mentor and model curricula understanding and instructional strategies stand are the ones others follow. #satchat

  • lookforsun Sep 8 @ 7:39 AM EDT
    When leadership grows via teams, we are able to give every teacher a leadership role--I think this is critical in school culture, it's more of a natural leadership approach--a "living systems" approach which is very positive. #satchat

  • lpijanowski Sep 8 @ 7:47 AM EDT
    A2: Action begins with beliefs. Believing is seeing. I highlight the innovative actions of teachers through the impact it has on students. Often students speak to their experience and I invite teachers to observe peers so that the beliefs about what can be spur action. #satchat

    A2: We do this by going first and modeling the type of behavior in ourselves that we wish to see from others. If we don't do this, asking others to leave their comfort zone can feel authoritarian and inauthentic. #satchat

  • kmurfitt1 Sep 8 @ 7:47 AM EDT
    A2: I think there are several components-providing tools, coaching, and influencing policy changes. It’s time we stop thinking of PD in the terms of what has always been done. There are so many new and effective ways for teachers to learn and lead! #satchat
  • oritgately Sep 8 @ 7:47 AM EDT

  • lisareldridge Sep 8 @ 7:47 AM EDT
    A2: It’s about building relationships, just like we do with students. Colleagues need those same assurances to be able to hear and use constructive feedback. #satchat
  • beccapelli Sep 8 @ 7:47 AM EDT
    A2: the school culture must allow teachers to take risks-feel comfortable and confident in their decisions also when teachers who model the risks are successful others will follow #satchat
  • MrTravisDrake Sep 8 @ 7:47 AM EDT
    A2 It starts with giving them a platform. Most schools have so many district mandates that we spend our extra "meeting" times on, instead of allowing organic leadership to flow out of that time. Let teachers have quality time together to grow. The leaders will step up. #satchat
  • TheBradCurrie - Moderator Sep 8 @ 7:47 AM EDT
    A2: The first step in helping other educators see what is possible is to share. Once educators come out of isolation and form a network of support by sharing methods and resources risk-taking will happen. Teacher leaders understand the importance of sharing and support #satchat
  • MrKoz31 Sep 8 @ 7:48 AM EDT
    A2: This is where admin is needed for support. If admin shows enthusiasm and support for risk taking teachers, others in the building pick up on that and are more likely to try new things. #satchat

  • rossathibault Sep 8 @ 7:48 AM EDT
    A1: Teacher leaders are so important to building a culture of excellence w/in a school. They have the ability to shape informal conversations which are crucial to a school’s culture & climate. In my school the Teacher Leaders also lead & facilitate common planning time. #satchat
  • DennisReed54 Sep 8 @ 7:48 AM EDT
    A2) getting others to step out of their comfort zone and start trying things can happen if their is a common understanding of what and why we are doing it, a common understanding and supportive environment. #satchat
  • lpijanowski Sep 8 @ 7:48 AM EDT
    Yes! I love the iea of living systems or learning organizations. However, it has to start somewhere. Often, that begins with a few brave leaders who start a movement. Then, as you build capacity / shared understanding you all grow. #satchat
    • lookforsun Sep 8 @ 7:46 AM EDT
      Yes, but does "lifting" suggest some are more powerful than others--should we be taking a greater "living systems" team approach to leadership--where we are looking more at circles of effect rather than hierarchical models. Playing w/these ideas this morning. #satchat

  • betavt Sep 8 @ 7:49 AM EDT
    A2 - leaders have to be out front and peering over the edge. But the risk is meaningless unless people know why you are doing it #satchat
  • bfarrauto Sep 8 @ 7:49 AM EDT
    A2: Just as important to leadership is the first follower. Seek out those with the potential to get your ideas flowing among others. Or, be the crutch that our T leaders need to start a positive movement for an idea they’ve suggested. #satchat
  • MathDenisNJ Sep 8 @ 7:49 AM EDT

    A2: this is SO much about culture of the building & attitude of administrators. Building a culture of trust & non judgment is important, and we must create a culture of innovation and willingness to change. Admins especially must be genuinely “all in” on initiatives too! #satchat

    A2 credibility is key for any leader in the classroom or the principal’s office- walk the walk - means being seen as a teacher who delivers quality experiences for kids, relational w adults, listens, participates and is present in the work- sits on ego with others #satchat
    In reply to @TheBradCurrie
  • autumn_zam Sep 8 @ 7:49 AM EDT
    A2 it all comes with culture. It’s NOT a top-down approach. When teachers have autonomy and admin’s trust, they will likely trust and respect your teacher leaders. #positivityspreads #satchat

  • MPapaEdu Sep 8 @ 7:49 AM EDT
    A2: The role of teacher leaders must be communicated effectively. It should be clear their feedback is non-evaluative but there as an extra support. TLs should offer tons of positive feedback to support their colleagues! #Satchat
  • natashadams Sep 8 @ 7:50 AM EDT
    A2. It changes one conversation at a time. It requires language that invites reflection & inquiry vs. advice giving. #satchat
  • HeatherLieberm2 Sep 8 @ 7:50 AM EDT
    A2 To encourage Ts to accept the TL’s guidance and try something new they need to know it’s ok to do it wrong. Reassure Ts there will be no “gotcha’s” from admin. Create a judgement free environment of support. Try. Fall. Try again with support. #satchat

      A2: Teacher Leadership is going to look different in each building depending on a few factors IMO. 1. What's the culture like at the school? 2. Does admin treat TLs different in a way that's detrimental to culture? There has to be a sense that TLs are there to support. #satchat

    A2 Honestly, if another teacher walked into your room unannounced, and sat down at a desk, would your teaching improve? My guess is yes, as you would want your peer to see your best. This simple 8 minute task could open a new door of collaboration (without leader title). #satchat

    Coaches often spend lots of time working w/other admin talking about teachers, scores, curriculum rather than working w/students and teachers focused on positive goals, efforts. It's often a power-trip rather than true support. #satchat

    A6: In my role, I've enlisted the help of TLs to collaborate across the district to set a shared vision and then provide support to all Ts in their buildings and empower more TLs - positivity has become viral! #Satchat #WO2World #ServantLeadership #sharedleadership
  • KRScienceLady Sep 8 @ 8:25 AM EDT
    Student centered coaching where we teachers and coaches plan together and then work as a team can alleviate some of that I think #satchat
    • lookforsun Sep 8 @ 8:23 AM EDT
      Coaches are often distanced from reality of school life--they spend a lot of time on fringes & much of their work is not helpful or timely given what's happening w/children & students. I think it's better to create strong teams that work w/children and work together too. #satchat

  • ruralreading Sep 8 @ 8:25 AM EDT
    IDEA: Set up 5 min at the end of each faculty meeting for teachers to share what they are passionate about/using in class (tech tools, books, websites). No requirement, just sign up sheet , end meetings with something to explore yourself/resource. #satchat @KThomasCES @CyndiWms5

  • gwena_walker Sep 8 @ 8:25 AM EDT
    #SatChat Teacher leaders are professional. They do not gossip about each other behind each other's backs. Instead we are all transparent and vulnerable, and we create a safe place for one another just like we do in our classrooms for our Ss. This promotes TRUE growth. :-)

    A4: Some leaders are born. Some leaders need a gentle push. Some don’t even know they are a leader or believe they can be a leader. Discover your leaders. ➡️Listen to those who want to lead ➡️Encourage others to lead ➡️Seek others’ strengths ➡️Believe in others #satchat
  • rerdmann Sep 8 @ 8:25 AM EDT
    A6: Providing time, resources and support for both the new teacher & coach is essential. Supporting effective, descriptive feedback and possible next steps is also important. #satchat
  • bgriffinteach Sep 8 @ 8:25 AM EDT
    I understand where you are coming from, Maureen. I have worked in schools where the coaches are very distanced from the Ss and Ts. My current coaches are constantly in the classroom either talking with Ss or even modeling strategies during class. It all depends. #satchat

    I love your honest reflection. This can be a goal for many of our veteran teachers- to reach out and intentionally connect with our new Ts deeper than just a smile in the hallway (although sometimes that’s all that they need!) #satchat

  • JusPoidevin Sep 8 @ 8:26 AM EDT
    A6: get to know who the new teacher is so they can be matched appropriately. We give 2 hours teaching release in the first year plus 20 hours of professional development time. Teachers are encouraged to try new things and meet loads of new people in that time #satchat
  • lookforsun Sep 8 @ 8:26 AM EDT
    Time-on-task w/Ss day after day is intense--yesterday outstanding T friend of mine from system other than mine told me one more devastating coaching story--coach came in w/latest article on how to teach,disrespected T's depth of knowledge, ridiculed her classroom. #satchat

  • RachelTassler Sep 8 @ 8:26 AM EDT
    This is where Student-centered coaching cycles come in. The coaching is driven by the Ss & the T & coach work shoulder to shoulder to co-plan & co-teach for a cycle-could be 6weeks. @SweeneyDiane #SatChat

    Excellent points. Agree! IOt also has to do with having the right people in the right positions. Know people's strengths and improve on their weaknesses. #satchat
    • MsVandeborne Sep 8 @ 8:14 AM EDT
      That’s where coaching comes into play, trust but guide. Too many admin lose trust too fast in their people but that’s often because they aren’t guiding through the process. As a leader we need to look at ourselves first if our people are failing. #satchat
