As the demands on PK-12 education grow, successful and meaningful change can no longer be initiated and achieved only through a formal leader. To continuously improve, districts must empower and develop the leadership skills in their teachers. Only through the purposeful development of teacher leaders can districts maximize their ability to help every learner reach their full potential. As a professor for the Teacher Leadership Academy offered through North Dakota State University, I have witnessed firsthand the impact the purposeful focus on developing these skills can have on the transformation of a district. In Experiencing Teacher Leadership, Dr. Coquyt provide background information, ideas and resources for administrators and teachers to utilize for enhancing and growing teacher leadership. The Teacher Leader Model Standards are utilized in a format that is engaging, reflective and will provide a template for starting the conversation about the development of teacher leaders for both K-12 settings and higher education.
