This book is for you if you are among the increasing number of teachers who:
- serve on a school improvement team
- mentor other teachers
- participate in making decisions as a member of a curriculum committee
- have assumed other leadership roles and positions

The Call to Teacher Leadership demonstrates the many ways teachers can be leaders without having to opt out of the classroom full-time. It examines formal leadership positions – instructional coordinators, lead teachers, department chairs, etc. – as well as informal leadership roles – nurturing colleagues, supporting the instructional program, participating in decision making, etc.

With practical examples and case studies, this book provides details about how teachers have participated in the leadership of their schools and districts. Examples come from elementary, middle, and high schools across the country. (160 pp., 2003)
