Teacher Leadership

School districts throughout the nation are turning to teacher leaders to help broaden, deepen, and accelerate mathematics reform. Teacher leaders provide classroom support, demonstration teaching, co-teaching, observation, and feedback—as well as school-wide and district-wide professional development. Yet, teacher leaders, themselves, require training and support to carry out these tasks. Our work in teacher leadership provides:

Teacher leader training and development, especially training that is centered on core ideas of mathematics and how to teach these ideas for understanding.
Support for teacher leader networks.
Evaluation of teacher leadership programs.
Research on the contributions of teacher leadership to large-scale mathematics and science reform.
