201 Words1 Page

Education writer, Mary Ellen Flannery in her article, “When Teachers Take Charge,” claims that teacher-led schools could be a part of the future of education. Teacher-led schools are schools where teachers and educators decide what they want the students to learn and what they want to teach. They work together on everything and collaborate with each other to plan. In the article it states that, “Reiche teachers gladly put in the time because it’s so motivating to see the results for student success.” There are many teachers who do care about their students succeeding which is why teacher-led schools should shape the future of education.

    In the article What Happens When Students Control Their Own Education by Emily Richmond that was published in October of 2014, explains a new radical education curriculum whose goal is “helping students develop their critical thinking skills while better preparing them for the real-world challenges of college and career.” Rather than doing more of the same, the entire district opted to implement a new educational approach; a student-centered curriculum where teachers function as coaches rather than lecturers and students are evaluated based on their passions and interests and where their deficits and weaknesses were addressed. Richmond includes several pieces of evidence in her article to support student based curriculum by explaining “students are shouldering more responsibility for their own learning.

    I found this section to be important because it shows a few other forces that shape schools beside just the philosophies of education. This section talks about constructivism which “asserts that knowledge cannot be handed from one person to another, but must be constructed by each learner through interpreting and reinterpreting a constant flow of in. This section also talks about behaviorism. Behaviorism is “derived from the belief that free will is an illusion and that human beings are shaped entirely by their environment.” This was an interesting thought to read about being a future educator, because I had never really thought of that concept.

    Leadership is a construct that stretches across every aspect of life. Within the educational system, the majority of decisions about schools are made by upper administration at both the state and district level. High-stakes testing, unfunded educational mandates, and tight budgets have been guiding administrators to make extensive, critical, and impactful decisions in districts, at times, without input from essential stakeholders such as teachers. McCombs and Miller (2009) described results in the following way, “what began as an effort to create a culture of achievement for all has resulted instead in a culture in which achievement has been subverted, leaving teacher and school leaders weary and demoralized” (p. 13). This type of culture

    Teachers are being placed in the center of how schools function and are being asked to aid in crucial decisions about the academic direction of the school (Warren, 2016). Research by York-Barr and Duke (2004), states “teacher leadership roles range from assisting with the management of schools to evaluating educational initiatives and facilitating professional learning communities” (p. 1). While teacher leadership is evolving, the perceptions that teachers have regarding themselves as leaders has not truly been uncovered. This literature review is an attempt to highlight the research surrounding teacher leadership. It begins with the foundations of teacher leadership which includes the history of teacher leadership, the evolving definition of teacher leadership, and finally a summary of current teacher leadership development programs.
