I learned the leadership style with which I most align is....

A key takeaway from the reading is that leadership doesn't happen in isolation. It must be shared to your community both inside and outside of your classroom to influence others to improve their practices. It doesn't happen alone.

# data[].attributes.body
Key takeaway:

Leaders want to make a difference, both within the classroom and beyond the classroom. They want to take action with others to make a difference.

A lingering question I have about teacher leadership is how to go about changing the mindset of others. How do you get them to understand that it doesn't have to come from the principal or higher powers of position to be leaders or to change the climate? We can lead and do the right thing no matter who is at the helm.

Question:

How can you get others "on board" with change when they are feeling overwhelmed by the day to day of teaching?

I believe that it is crucial for all teams to have a clear goal and to consist of a group of diverse leaders ranging from all domains. Teams work best when individualized strengths are highlighted and utilized.

How can I further maximize my strongest leadership style (executer) and grow in my weakest leadership style (strategic thinking)?

# data[].attributes.body
A key takeaway is teacher leaders hone their craft within the classroom, but that learning must be shared with colleagues so that school improvement happens.

# data[].attributes.body
A lingering question that remains for me is, how can large scale school improvement take place with teacher leaders without building leaders effectively leading.

# data[].attributes.body
Teacher leadership is constant reawakening of why we got into education in the first place. As we lead our students we are reaching out to others and trying to bring them along on our journey of educating the mind.

# data[].attributes.body
Question:

Do leaders leave behind those who do not care? Motivating the unmotivated is always a leadership challenge.

# data[].attributes.body
Key takeaway: The excerpt from Linda Lambert really resonated with me because I have felt that feeling myself. Truly great collaborative efforts (like in a PD, PLC, team meeting) leave me feeling rejuvenated and excited to try new ways of accomplishing my ultimate goal: to be the best educator I can be.

# data[].attributes.body
TAKEAWAY: A key takeaway from the reading is that leadership is likely more effective when collaborative, requiring flexibility, responsiveness, and adaptability to the group's needs. For team members to feel motivated to take on leadership roles, they need to have a say in the decision-making process and be involved in shaping the shared vision and goals.

Lingering question: I'm sure there's no "silver bullet" for buy-in from your peers, but what are some good strategies for bringing outliers into the fold?

# data[].attributes.body
QUESTION: How can we as teacher leaders inspire others to grow and take leadership in their own way? What are best practices for moving beyond traditional leadership models? How can this process feel empowering to teachers and not like another task or trend?

# data[].attributes.body
A key takeaway from the reading for me was that there are so many ways you can be a leader and some models are intertwined and hold some similarities. I see myself in a few, but definitely not all. And some, I aspire to, yet some I disagree with.

# data[].attributes.body
A lingering Question I have is how do you lead others who "already know it all?" and have more experience than you.

# data[].attributes.body
What stood out to me to me is the concept of being reflective in your teaching methods in order to improve yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
Question: How can these somewhat complex ideas help me to improve my classroom on a daily basis?

# data[].attributes.body
A key takeaway for me is that leadership starts in your classroom and then grows outside of it. Teacher collaboration forged through mutual learning leads to school improvement.

# data[].attributes.body
A lingering question I have is how do you foster collaborative mindset within a team when members don't seem to really care about working as a team, or their job in general.

# data[].attributes.body
My key takeaway is that teacher leaders understand change for student improvement must be collaborative. Change comes with the contributions of the strengths with all teachers and teams.

# data[].attributes.body
A lingering question is how to lead effectively without feeling overwhelmed due to lack of support and ineffective practices from building leaders.

# data[].attributes.body
Key Takeaway: Context matters and leadership is not a position. Different problems, needs, teams, and organizational levels demand a different leadership approach. As leaders, we must develop the skill to diagnose a situation and identify which leadership model or models should be employed. Effective leadership is not a position it is the collection of actions we take to move our organizations forward. Good leadership shows up at many levels of an organization's power structure.

# data[].attributes.body
Lingering Question: How do we, as the individuals charged with "leadership," best identify times to change the model to fit a situation best?

# data[].attributes.body
A key takeaway from the reading that I like is that data shows significant student achievement is found in schools where teachers play a large role in school improvement planning and school disciplinary policies. The opposite is true for schools where teachers do not play a significant role in the planning and policies.

# data[].attributes.body
A key takeaway from the reading is that collaboration with others is an essential for leaders. I resonated with the quote form Marilyn Katzenmeyer and Gayle Moller, that," teachers who are leaders lead within and beyond the classroom. We need to be willing to open our classroom doors, and share the good stuff for the benefit of all of us. School improvement happens in the school, not just one classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
A lingering question I have is, is how to lead those that are complacent, with one foot out the door, mentality.

# data[].attributes.body
Teams should have a shared vision. To achieve this everyone needs to feel valued. School success cannot happen alone it takes a team.

# data[].attributes.body
Leadership requires looking at yourself and knowing strengths, weaknesses, motivations, talents, and passions. If you start with yourself and aim to be better, there is just no way that this will not influence those around you.

# data[].attributes.body
I am wondering about effective ways to help influence a higher morale among close colleagues. What are effective ways that leaders do this?

# data[].attributes.body
How do you get seasoned teachers to fully buy into best practices for all students?

# data[].attributes.body
Question: How do we ensure that the leadership model we adopt fits our needs?

# data[].attributes.body
It takes teamwork to reach the end goal, to make the vision happen, regardless of the leadership style. Everyone needs to work together to make it happen and knowing people's strengths and weaknesses can help make effective teams to strength each other and provide individual growth.

# data[].attributes.body
Changing a culture is not easy, it takes time and buy in from all stake holders. My question is how as a leader, can I help promote positive change, and work on strengthening areas I need to work on for the betterment of the team as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
One things I learned was my leadership style but also the limitations of my leadership style. By understanding both, I can operate more efficiently in my leadership style

# data[].attributes.body
Question: Knowing limitations or weaknesses, what can I personally do to strengthen those areas?
