Teacher leadership to me is to empower teachers, and contributed to school improvement through this empowerment and the spreading of good practice and initiatives generated by teachers. A range of conditions needed to be in place in schools for teacher leadership to be successful, including a culture of trust and support, structures that supported teacher leadership but clear and transparent, strong leadership, with the head usually being the originator of teacher leadership, and engagement in innovative forms of professional development

The best way to maximise the ‘teacher leadership’ effect is through collaborative working, as then professional knowledge, energy, experience and ideas are enhanced. It is also about practice of involving and influencing others so that learning improves.

The research also shows that when teachers collaborate, in meaningful ways, and provide feedback to each other, their practice improves.

To ensure a meaningful learning experience and to make sure I reflect on my current practice and consider the nature and purpose of enquiry. I will then plan and implement an enquiring approach to developing their classroom practice to enhance effective inclusive practice of knowing, doing and believing.

Throughout the programme, I will engage with literature and reflect on the learning arising in terms of their own leadership as well as for their learners.
