About this series
One of the most effective ways to develop skills toward leadership and mentorship for teachers is to be critically reflective of one’s own past experiences. Through dialogue and reflection on critical incidents, teachers are able to identify crucial moments and formative experiences that have helped shape their identity as educators. These acts of reflection support teachers in developing their stance and rationale for pedagogy, and the means to articulate it to others.

This series is best for:
  • Teachers with three or more years of experience
  • Teacher Leaders
  • Assistant Principals
  • Coaches
  • Master/model teachers
  • Peer collaborative teachers

By the end of this series, you'll be able to:
  • Learn the fundamentals of teacher leadership, including: facilitation, working with teams, and leading an inquiry project
