Basically a teacher leader a person who have strong hold with the class and is either mentoring other teachers or leading institute in different programs. It is like a superhero who is usually connected with the classroom but whenever a leader is required to sustain innovation and development, they showed up. These leaders usually support and guide other teachers with new teaching methods. After applying those methods they make some constructive feedback, this feedback is backbone of the new development and innovation.

Why we need this?

Teacher Leadership leaves a positive impact on the teachers and students. This is no wonder it have shown good progress into students and fellow teachers. It have enhanced chances of improvement into classrooms and school. It have positive effect on the teachers efficacy and morals. Teachers working in the team like this feel good value for themselves and they remain in the profession for long time. Their dedication and responsibilities toward the students also get improved and moralized.

“Research has consistently underlined the contribution of strong collegial relationships to school improvement and change. Collaboration is at the heart of teacher leadership, as it is premised upon change that is undertaken collectively. For teacher leadership to be most effective it has to encompass mutual trust, support and enquiry. Evidence suggests that it is difficult for teachers to create and sustain the conditions for improved pupil learning if those conditions do not exist for their own learning (Silns and Mulford, 2002). Where teacher share good practice and learn together the possibility of securing better quality teaching is increased.” –Alma Harris (Professor of School Leadership at the Institute of Education, University of Warwick) and Dr. Daniel Mujis (Lecturer in Quantitative Research Methods at Warwick Institute of Education).
