The Calm in the Storm—Teacher Leaders
SCHOOL CLIMATE
What is the glue that holds a campus together and
makes sure that change is sustained for improved
academic performance? Teacher leaders provide
passion, focus, collaboration, and longevity in the face
of frequent turnover that occurs in high school campus
administration. Processes used to sustain focused
improvement are conversations with teachers, leading
book studies, impacting campus belief systems, and
analyzing and leading teachers through data analysis, all
with a constant focus on improving student achievement.
Even though campus administration changes, teacher
leaders sustain the focus and change to meet the
needs of students for all students to be successful.
When changes in administration occur, teacher leaders
assist new administrators in understanding the culture,
climate, and vision of the campus for collaborative
decision making and shared leadership to exist.
