COMMUNITY LINKAGES AND PROFESSIONAL ENGAGEMENT

    Teacher leaders possess a skill set that goes well beyond the classroom; these include mentoring, instructional design, advocacy for the school and students, and active involvement in school improvement initiatives. These leaders are essential in creating a positive school climate, encouraging teamwork, and propelling positive change in the educational community. Teacher leaders inspire their peers and make a significant contribution to the professional development of both students and colleagues. 

    As a result, building a community of support for students is essential to establishing an atmosphere in which they can flourish both personally and academically. Working together, families, communities, local organizations, and schools can create a supportive environment where students can thrive and realize their full potential.
