All teachers serve as leaders. All teachers take a turn at representing the study group at Instructional Council meetings. All teachers learn to facilitate a protocol. Recognizing all teachers in the study groups as equals means equal in status, equal in responsibility, and equal in ability to lead. Teachers are leaders on the Focus Team and the Instructional Council.
Teachers are leaders in the individual study groups.
All of these units of the organization support schoolwide change. How these and other units interact in a seamless and supportive way determines the success of any comprehensive school reform design. We believe that all teachers are leaders and if given the opportunity will surely lead any reform or change effort. In 1992, Carlene was awarded one of the National Staff Development Council's highest honors, The Contributions to Staff Development Award.
