Materials to Develop Capabilities to Lead Others

The three components below are essential to developing teacher leaders to support district needs. Here are resources to support each component.

Co-Constructing Professional Learning Experiences for Self and Others

Teacher leaders contribute to the process of developing professional learning experiences for themselves and their colleagues.

Building a Community of Practice

Teacher leaders are in an environment where they can share their fears and vulnerabilities, feel supported and respected by their colleagues, and inspired to push themselves out of their comfort zones to grow professionally.

Supporting Teacher Leader Growth as Facilitators

Teacher leaders receive guidance and feedback as they practice leading various types of professional learning experiences.

The Improving Practice Together project and approach rely on the foundation of a high capacity partnership that includes a school district with a dedicated science leader and an external professional learning partner (or dedicated internal science professional learning team). Using IPT resources to support teacher leader growth as facilitators may require similar robust capacity.
