Leader Teachership
Leader teachership? Think about it. The course we took, ECI 508 - Teachers as Leaders - was all about teacher leadership, i.e., becoming a teacher leader. What, in your mind, could I possibly mean by the term 'leader teachership?'
(This space is for you to take time to "muse," i.e., to reflect and refract on this question. You might want to imagine the theme from Chariots of Fire playing in the back of your head... or maybe Cryin' by Aerosmith, whatever does it for you.)
Right! You got it! Leader Teachership is the art of teaching others to become teacher leaders. In the most obvious example, Dr. Pope was practicing leader teachership by teaching the course on teacher leadership. We teacher leaders now have the torch and it is our responsibility to seek out and encourage others to become teacher leaders too. How we go about doing that, i.e., practicing the part of teacher leadership that involves preparing others to become teacher leaders, and helping others to become better teacher leaders, that is leader teachership.
