Part 11 - It’s About Culture
November 10th, 2008 by admin in Dr. Karen Seashore Louis
Karen Seashore Louis addresses school culture, which teachers inherit but are also responsible for moulding. They own the culture and can change it. Teachers become leaders in this kind of school environment and they need to expect their principal to provide some support to do that, as well as to focus on PCOLT and its impact on the classroom. This is the human-resource foundation for teacher leadership. She provides a list of things that teachers should do to help bring about this type of distributed leadership.
Think about:
- Is this evolving role of principals a challenging one, but reasonable to expect?
- What ways can teacher unions support PCOLT?
