In Teacher Leadership, Lieberman and Miller discuss current changes in the teacher's role, and make sense of the research on teacher leadership. They offer case studies of innovative programs - such as the National Writing Project - that provide teachers with opportunities to lead within a professional community. In addition, they tell stories of individual teachers - from Maine to California - who are able to lead in a variety of contexts. Teacher Leadership offers a new standard of teaching and community that recognizes all teachers as leaders. It shows how to develop learning communities that include rather than exclude, create knowledge rather than merely apply it, and that offer challenge and support to both new and experienced teachers. 
This book is a volume in the Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in Education - a series designed to meet the demand for new ideas and insights about leadership in schools.

Schools & Teaching

Jossey-Bass

In this publication, Lieberman and Miller explore the affective world of the teacher. They tie the social realities of day-to-day living in a school building to the process of instructional improvement. They aim to help those who have been out of the classroom awhile to remember the challenges and frustrations teachers face. Through verbatim quotations and vivid descriptions, they also permit them to savour the joys of teacher experiences when learning takes place.

Teachers -- Their World and Their Work: Implications for School Improvement

Teachers' College Press

Fifteen years after Lieberman and Miller’s Teachers―Their World and Their Work, many schools and the teachers who work in them are being challenged to achieve more ambitious and far-reaching goals than ever before. In this sequel to their ground-breaking volume the authors bring the reader up to date by addressing the contemporary realities of schools and teaching, focusing on both the constraints and the possibilities embedded in practice. The words and experiences of teachers and principals are used by the authors to show what growth and change look like from the inside―the teacher’s perspective: what change requires, how differences in context and personnel are accommodated, what people learn as they change, and what it feels like in the process. This book is a major contribution to a growing literature focusing on the central participants in school reform―the teachers. It is essential to the success of this transformation that “their world and their work” be understood and supported in all its complexity.

Teachers--Transforming Their World and Their Work (the series on school reform)

Based on their research and many years of lived experience in schools, the authors have become convinced that teachers learn best within their own work communities. In this volume, they explore what research and practice have to tell us about how such communities grow and develop, and how to negotiate the inherent tension between improving competence and building community. Using five themes that emerged from their studies of practice―context, capacity, content, commitment, and challenge―the authors examine selected research studies, personal reflections, and five cases that were especially commissioned for this volume in order to uncover new insights and understandings. The text begins with essays on research and long-term development projects and concludes with vignettes that address the following questions:
<ul>
<li> What is the context of your program?</li>
<li> How does your program deal with facilitating both competence and the building of community?</li>
<li> What are the challenges, and how has your program dealt with them?</li>

It demystifies qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods designs and provides step-by-step procedures for judging the strengths and limitations of any study. Excerpts from real research reports are used as opportunities to develop methodological knowledge and practice analytic skills. Based on sound pedagogic principles, the text is structured for diverse learning styles: visual learners (concept maps, icons), active learners (building-block exercises and templates for writing), and story learners (examples, reading guides, and reflections). Pedagogical Features *Rubrics, checklists of steps to take, and reading guides that walk students through analyzing different types of research articles. *Journal abstracts with questions that home in on key aspects of a study. *Exemplars of each type of study, with descriptions of methodological and design choices. *End-of-chapter skills-building exercises that lead up to writing a research review essay. *Chapter appendices featuring sample responses to the exercises.
