What is the most critical
aspect of a teacher's leadership skills however is their ability to make
their students actively question and grow their perception of who they are
and what their strengths are. A true teacher leader can guide students to
what they are excellent at as well, giving them insights into how best to
find the intersection of their talents and passions. The true test of a
teacher who is leading is in their commitment of constantly being willing
to also get measured by their peers and the certification organizations
that periodically test teachers for competency according to Anderson,
Rolheiser, Kim (1998).
In summary, the teacher leader is one who has found a passion for service
to others while the same time having a strong passion to continually learn
new techniques for teaching, for pursuing their own personal academic
interests and sharing the insights gained with students.
The teacher
leaders who are making a significant impact on their communities also bring
a sense of purpose to their work, with passion for the subject and the
fulfillment of their own professional and personal development goals as
well. The bottom line is that teachers who make excellent leaders strive
to serve communities as thoroughly and as responsively as they can while
staying interconnected with their own areas of expertise, so they have much
to share in terms of personal learning experience and guidance so students
can achieve their full potential.
