Teacher Leadership: Collective Growth Through Collaboration
Annie Sussman
Summary
In Teacher Leadership: Collective Growth Through Collaboration, TERC’s Annie Sussman explores how teachers can lead and influence change while remaining rooted in classroom practice. Through interviews with mathematics and science teacher leaders, she finds that leadership is not defined by a formal title, but develops through collaboration, vulnerability, shared learning, and strong relationships with colleagues. The article illustrates how teachers can support collective growth and create meaningful change by learning with and from one another.
