Leadership in Learning Seminar

This course examines the many forms of both formal and informal teacher leadership in learning environments, in their institutions and in their communities. It considers the various barriers to individual teacher leadership that result from the structure of school facilities and policies, the service worker mentality of teacher culture, and the unreasonable demand that teachers be assessed according to a continually changing list of social cultural, political, and community developmental needs. And it explores the roles that teachers should be playing as adult learners, peer coaches, and thought leaders in education reform.
