Description: Although past leadership training has focused primarily on preparing educators to become administrators, little information has been available to train teachers to lead other teachers. A Handbook for Teacher Leaders - a guide based on years of research, real-world examples, and practitioner input - fills this important need. This unique handbook not only provides specific information for teacher leaders but is also written from the perspective of the teacher leader rather than from that of an administrator. Pellicer and Anderson present skills and techniques that will help teacher leaders become more effective mentors and peer coaches, techniques that will also help them encourage colleagues to pursue ongoing professional development. They will learn how to lead other teachers in the development of curriculum and instructional strategies and in conducting action research in their classrooms.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 219-231) and index.
