Teacher Leadership
'At its most profound, teacher leadership offers a ‘new professionalism’
based upon mutual trust, recognition, empowerment and support. At its
most practical , it provides a way of teachers working together in order
to improve the learning experiences of young people. It reclaims
leadership as a human, collective endeavour in which all teachers play
an essential role'A.Harris, D.Mujis (2003).
