As a teacher I think I am more conscious of my advocacy for my learners and I am requesting change and highlighting areas of inequality in a more strategic and logical manner.

My understanding of the term ‘teacher leadership’ changed through your participation in this programme because previously I believed leadership was mostly an exercise in power, delegating to subordinates and often keeping to the council ‘company’ line.
Now I understand leadership as a driving force, someone working collaboratively using the experience  and expertise of others.

I have achieved a deeper understanding of leadership roles and class teachers’ ability to be a driving force for change in education starting in their school and through supporting their learners.

In the future I hope to continue to engage with practitioner enquiry and research particularly around areas of inequality in education.Teacher Leadership Poster TLP Snapshot
