Lead Teachers

There is no strictly defined ‘template’ for Lead Teachers – from one QEC to the next, Lead Teachers will do different things based on their context. However, there are some expectations for Lead Teachers – though these will be realized differently in each QEC.

The role of Lead Teachers falls into 3 broad categories

• Technical: Activities that are aimed at developing and delivering developmental opportunities for teachers.

• Administrative: Activities a Lead Teacher does in order to support and advance their technical roles.

• Auxiliary: Activities (such as training) that the Lead Teacher does because of the special role they play in a QEC. Auxiliary activities may be unrelated to the Lead Teacher’s PLC.
