Summary:
"Teacher Leadership 2.0 is a step-by-step discussion and description of how and why to foster teacher leadership in schools. Unlike top-down delivered leadership, this book will seek to empower teachers throughout schools to create and grow in leadership roles.

There are five conceptual must-haves that are essential in promoting teacher leadership in schools today. Must-Have #1: Why Top Down Change Is Less Effective Today Than Ever Must-Have #2: Teacher Leadership in Schools Is a Force Not a Position Must-Have #3: Why We Don't See Teachers as Leaders (Bad Images of Teachers) Must-Have #4: Leadership, Learning, and Change Are One Must-Have #5: Teacher Leadership: A New Definition"-- Provided by publisher.
