How To Be a Teacher Leader | CTQ | LEARNing To Learn | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
  • Be the thing you teach.
  • Be the expert of your classroom.
  •  Be data savvy.
  • Be continually reflective on your practice.
  • Be able to defend your practice.
This directive is similar to the data-savvy and expert points, but teacher leaders need to be able to explain their craft. Your administrator will be trotting all kinds of people through your classroom.  As a teacher leader, you might be a maverick, doing things a little differently than the rest of the herd. Be prepared to defend that road less traveled.  Know why you do the things you do.  Then, as a leader, share everything you know.
