We need a bold new brand of teacher leadership that will create
opportunities for teachers to practice, share, and grow their
knowledge and expertise.
This book is about ‘teacherpreneurs’–highly accomplished
classroom teachers who blur the lines of distinction between those
who teach in schools and those who lead them. These
teacherpreneurs embody the concept that teachers can
teach as well as lead the transformation of teaching and
learning. It’s about empowering expert teachers who can buoy
the image of teaching and enforce standards among their ranks while
all along making sure that their colleagues as well as education
policymakers and the public know what works best for students.
The book follows a small group of teacherpreneurs in their first
year. We join their journey toward becoming teacher
leaders whose work is not defined by administrative fiat, but by
their knowledge of students and drive to influence policies that
allow them and their colleagues to teach more effectively. The
authors trace the teacherpreneurs’ steps–and their
own–in the effort to determine what it means to define and
execute the concept of ‘teacherpreneurism’ in the face of tough
demands and resistant organizational structures.
