What has Teacher Leadership Been Like for You? |
Teacher Leadership is a newly recognized avenue for career advancement for teachers wanting to advance their career in the field of education without becoming administrators. The Iowa department of education has provided funding and structure for district across the state of Iowa to develop plans that empower career teachers to have leadership roles and better support teacher improvement and student achievement. The Winfield - Mount Union Community School District developed a plan that was approved starting the 2015 - 16 school year and is in the second of three waves of implementation across the state. Our plan uses lead teachers, instructional coaches, and mentors as key support roles that directly influence classroom instruction. Our plan also includes a professional development coordinator, a family and community support liaison, and a data coordinator which all provide support to necessary features of a healthy school district.
