Teacher leadership can also exist in a more informal sense, for example in teachers’ supportive roles with each other in professional learning communities or in school change efforts (Grossman, Wineburg, & Woolworth, 2001; Wolf, Borko, Elliott, & McIver, 2000). Empirical evidence concerning the effects of either formal or informal teacher leadership is limited in quantity and reports mixed results. For example, Hannay and Denby’s (1994) study of department heads found that they were not very effective as facilitators of change because of their lack of knowledge and skill in effective change strategies.
For example, how do principals assess their teachers’ subject matter capabilities and orchestrate opportunities for more and deeper learning for those who need it? Questions such as this will align research in educational administration more closely with core issues of improving teaching and learning. Our argument is framed by reference to four broad categories of research that cut across research on teaching and learning and research on educational leadership. We first examine research that aims to identify causally relevant connections between educational practice and student achievement.
P. 20) Most of this research begins with a focus on how student interaction is associated with student learning (broadly defined) and then asks how teachers can foster those processes associated with positive student learning. For example, after finding that students learned mathematics most effectively when provided with opportunities to first understand, and then to critique, alternative interpretations or solutions (Wood & Yackel, 1990), Cobb and his colleagues began investigating how teachers could promote such interactions.
