Teacher Leadership

Baselines and Ideas


My colleagues are my peers, so I am usually a supportive group member more than a leader. When I was a cooperating teacher or a mentor teacher, I tried to provide a good example and support for new teachers. Also, I love to discuss ideas and create materials so whenever someone asks to use something, I will gladly share. Otherwise, when I have been in a school-wide leadership position, it is usually been because no one else would do the job. For instance, I was the head union representative for a large middle school, chairperson for my department and house (group) leader for the teachers I worked with.
I like to try new things, so I am always willing to pilot a new curriculum or teaching method.

There is a place to post curriculum ideas on our district email. That is something I would be interested in developing.

Smart Goals

I will ask other teachers to post ideas in our district email, and I will post one idea on a bimonthly basis.

I am volunteering to work on the district committee for mathematics standard-based report cards. The district goal is to implement the new report card during the 2011-2012 school year.

I joined the school reading night committee that will plan and implement a reading night in January 2011.
