Abstract

This chapter focuses on teachers as literacy leaders in P-12 urban and suburban schools. A review of research highlights teacher leadership implementation, organizational approaches, and current leadership models and standards. Chapter components outline the evolution of traditional and nontraditional roles and responsibilities for teacher leaders, teacher leadership qualities, teacher leadership models and theories, and teacher leadership preparation programs. Secondly, teacher leadership workplace resistance and weaknesses in current teacher preparation programs are discussed. Thus, this chapter provides recommendations for teacher leaders and teacher leadership preparation programs facing challenges associated with distributed leadership and transformational change. Finally, this chapter focuses on literacy leadership as a catalyst for improving practices and driving school-wide reform at the P-12 level.
