Defining Teacher Leadership
Prior to entering the M.Ed. program in Teacher Leadership, I really had a very limited view of what teacher leadership encompassed. After being in the program and putting a lot of the thoery into actual practice, It was amazing to realize just how much of an impact we can make inside and outside of the classroom. In this artifact I attempt to provide a definition for teacher leadership that is inclusive of all of the many tasks that a teacher leader exercises both in the classroom and at school as a whole.
Collegial Conversation
Since our school is still transitioning from traditional teaching methods into more project-based learning, I had a conversation with a first year teacher regarding PBL at our school.
