Graduate · 1 credit

This course examines the research around effective leadership in mathematics, focusing on the idea of leadership capacity (Lambert, L. 2003) and the role of teacher leadership in supporting systemic improvement in mathematics. The program, in its entirety, was begun as a way to support school improvement through the development of a cadre of highly knowledgeable teacher leaders who can facilitate discussion and guide action in identified areas of need. Many teacher leadership ideas are woven throughout the entire program and this class aims to delve further into the research around effective teacher leadership as the participant develops a small impact plan to support areas of improvement identified in the school’s mathematics action plan. The participant, along with the school administration, work together to identify the focus of the impact plan and to implement it within the school system.
