Teacher Leadership
TEACHERS AS LEADERS
In Teacher Leadership, Lieberman and Miller discuss current changes in the teacher;s role, and make sense of the research on teacher leadership. They offer case studies of innovative programs - such as the National Writing Project - that provide teachers with opportunities to lead within a professional community. In addition, they tell stories of individual teachers - from Maine to California - who are able to lead in a variety of contexts.

Teacher Leadership offers a new standard of teaching and community that recognizes all teachers as leaders. It shows how to develop learning communities that include rather than exclude, create knowledge rather than merely apply it, and that offer challenge and support to both new and experienced teachers.

This book is a volume in the Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in Education - a series designed to meet the demand for new ideas and insights about leadership in schools.

DISTRIBUTED LEADERSHIP

Distributed Leadership explores how leadership practice takes shape in the interactions between leaders and followers in their situation. A distributed perspective on leadership provides a lens for generating insights into how leadership is practiced, helping practitioners think about and approach their work in new ways.

James Spillane, the leading expert in “Distributed Leadership,” shows how leadership happens in everyday practices in schools, through formal routines and informal interactions. He examines the distribution of leadership among administrators, specialists, and teachers in the school, and explains the ways in which leadership practice is stretched over leaders, followers, and aspects of the situation, including routines and tools of various sorts in the organization such as memos, scheduling procedures, and evaluation protocols.

The book provides an overview of what it means to take a distributed perspective on leadership, an examination of various uses of the term, a summary of the most current research illustrative examples, and helpful guidelines.

This is a volume in the JosseyBass Leadership Library in Education- a series designed to meet the
demand for new ideas and insights about leadership in schools.

ETHICAL LEADERSHIP
In Ethical Leadership, Robert Starratt - one of the leading thinkers on the topic of ethics and education?a shows educational leaders how to move beyond mere technical efficiency in the delivery and performance of learning.

Starratt explains that educational leadership requires a moral commitment to high quality learning for all students - a commitment based on three essential virtues: proactive responsibility; personal and professional authenticity; and an affirming, critical, and enabling presence to the workers and the work involved in teaching and learning. He clarifies how essential these virtues are for leadership in the pressure-cooker of high-stakes schooling. He provides a vivid illustration in the story of a principal who struggles to do the right thing for his students and teachers, as they are pressured - and often punished - by state mandated tests. Starratt concludes by offering practical suggestions for aspiring and working leaders.

Ethical Leadership is part of the Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in Education.
