Recenzii

"No one could read this book and not be struck by the power and importance of teacher leadership for our schools. The voices from the field don't merely spell out the power and importance of teacher leadership—they shout it out! One can't help but be touched by the care, commitment, concern, vulnerability, and honesty expressed by these writers."
"Captures the essence and essentials of teacher leadership. Defines teacher leaders and gives them a voice through personal reflections. Readers are given strategies on keeping and nurturing teacher leaders to maximize their impact on a campus. The framework for sustaining teacher leaders makes this book a must-read."
"The strength of any community of learners must be realized from within—from the internal leaders who, classroom by classroom, contribute to the overall well-being of the entire school. Uncovering Teacher Leadership brings together commanding, yet thoughtful voices on a topic central to effective educational practice—the development of teacher leaders. An important read for anyone in the field of education."
