Leadership From Within Secondary Mathematics Classrooms: Vignettes Along a Teacher-Leader Continuum

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present five examples of teacher leadership from within secondary mathematics classrooms. These vignettes come from a larger study that resulted in a teacher leader continuum. This article offers classroom teacher examples that highlight each of five positions along that continuum. The argument is made that a wide array of secondary mathematics teacher leaders are needed to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics for all students.
