Teacher Leader Certification

The Teacher Leadership component of our work is focused on the creation of a Teacher Leader Certificate Program that will support distributed leadership, a key aspect of a high performance learning culture. Teacher Leaders will earn a certificate as a leader by attending specific courses that are designed to support their role in: facilitating meetings with grade levels or departments, leading data analysis and/or the analysis of student work, and honing their presentation skills in preparation for serving as a leader in professional development at their site. In addition to the topics noted above, Department Heads in middle and high schools, who typically dedicate a portion of their time to supporting the instructional capacity of the teachers in their departments, will benefit from learning about the impact that teacher led walkthroughs can have on the implementation and monitoring of professional development.
