Teacher leadership & deeper learning for all students
In this paper commissioned by the Ford Foundation, Barnett Berry makes the case for how a system of teacher leadership and learning can fuel deeper learning for every student.
Here is what the paper tackles:
- examines current reforms’ limitations and notes some promising emergent examples, (like Social Justice Humanitas Academy in LAUSD);
- summarizes 30 years of research about how teachers learn and lead (also drawing on stories of teachers CTQ has worked with since our founding in 1998);
- identifies three promising shifts that could be leveraged to create an effective system of teacher leadership and learning; and
- describes next steps that stakeholders (including policymakers, USDOE, state education leaders, superintendents, and others) can take to advance teacher leadership toward a more equitable public education system.
