What Do Today's Teachers Want (And Not Want) From Teacher Leaders?

This article looks across six years of teacher leadership research to explore what today's teachers want (and don't want) from teacher leaders. A secondary analysis was conducted on volumes of teacher leader data, focused on teacher leader-teacher interactions, using a “justice” and “integrity”-oriented framework. Findings include patterns of teacher withdrawal or engagement with teacher leaders based on perceptions of how teacher leader time is afforded and spent.
