Empower teachers as leaders to improve student learning and performance!

With updated research and new teacher inventories and surveys, this third edition of a bestseller draws on the authors’ two decades of experience studying and observing the work of teacher leaders. Katzenmeyer and Moller examine the importance of teacher leadership in improving outcomes in schools, and cover the development of teacher leaders from preservice preparation to careerlong support. The book discusses the challenges that many teacher leaders face, including:

• Deciding to accept a leadership role 
• Building principal–teacher leader relationships 
• Working with peers 
• Facilitating professional learning for themselves and others
