| Summary: | Across the education field, there is unusual consensus that strong teacher leaders are key to improving our nation's schools. Unfortunately, clear expectations for what teacher leaders should do, and strategies to prepare them to do it, are few and far between. A recent survey found that while 86 percent of urban school districts have teacher leader roles, only 32 percent offered specialized training for teachers stepping into those roles. Data from the first two years of New Leaders' Emerging Leaders Program (ELP)--a program that provides job-embedded training and coaching to teacher leaders--indicate that even while still in training, almost three quarters of participants were able to increase student learning across the classrooms they supervised. Strong and effective teacher leaders who can guide their colleagues to success should be central to any school improvement strategy, but to fulfill their potential, they must receive purposeful training in skills that directly contribute to meaningful academic gains for students. This one-page brief offers six design elements that should inform the structure and delivery of teacher leadership training program.
