4) Leadership Effectiveness of Pre-service Teachers in Relation to Their Attitude
Towards Teacher Leadership by Sabeena P.S. and N. Muthaiah (2019).
- The writers believe that many teachers are capable of becoming leader
among their peers as teachers have the ability to lead in variety of ways
and providing leadership training can do much of a help in helping
teachers to understand teacher leaders’ roles and responsibilities. For a
better result, the writers suggest to provide teachers’ in pre-service
program effective leaderships training. According to their study that was
conducted on 160 pre-service teachers pursuing Bachelor in Education,
the pre-service teachers’ attitude to teacher leadership is indeed a good
predictor to their leadership effectiveness. Thus, exist the need in
consolidating leadership training during teachers’ pre service training.

3. Find one infographic from online on roles of teacher leader in coaching and
justify whether or not you agree or disagree by providing concrete citations to
support your point. (5p)
Below is the infographic regarding teacher leader’s roles that I found online from
U.S. Department of Education (n.d.). Overall, there are eight roles listed in the
infographic and I agree with each one of them.
I agree with the teacher leader roles stated in this infographic after finding other
source stating the same teacher leader roles as in the infographic. Moreover, I
compared each role to the Teacher Leader Model Principles to determine
whether the roles contain the principles required for a teacher leader.
The source related to teacher leaders’ roles is from ASCD (2007). The
website features an article written by Cindy Harrison and Joellen Killion, Ten
Roles for Teacher Leaders. Five out of ten roles of teacher leader from the article
were stated in the infographic.
1) Mentor/Coach.
According to ASCD (2007), teacher leaders who serves as a mentor
becomes a role model or coach especially to new teachers in terms of
guiding and advising about curriculum for example. This is indeed true
as it aligns with the 3rd and 4th Domain in Teacher Leader Model
Standards which are promoting professional learning for continuous
improvement and facilitating improvements in instruction and student
learning.
2) Leadership Team Member, Department Chair and Policy Leader.
These three roles stated in the infographic represent School Leader in
Harrison and Killion’s Teacher Leaders’ Role. A school leader for
instance serves in a committee that aims for school development,
reinforce school initiatives or represent school among stakeholders
(ASCD, 2007). Being a leadership team member, department chair
and policy leader simply means the teacher leader are a part of the
school leader. Besides, this role reflects the whole Teacher Leader
Model Standards except for the 2nd domain.
3) Curriculum Specialist.
A curriculum specialist teacher leader understands very well about
curriculum components, content standard and the use of curriculum in
planning instruction and assessment to ensure the implementation of
curriculum is consistent in a school. Thus, they guide teachers to follow
standards, adopted curriculum and develop shared assessment
(ASCD, 2007). This role complements Domain 1, 3, 4 and 5 in Teacher
Leader Model Standards.
4) Instructional Specialist.
As stated by ASCD (2007), an instructional specialist encourages
colleagues to make use of teaching strategies that are productive such
as recommending differentiated instruction or lesson planning together
with other teachers. After examining multiples research-based
classroom strategies, the teacher leader will suggest colleagues which
instructional strategies seems to suit best for the school. The 2 nd and
4th Domain in Teacher Leader Model Standards are demonstrated in
this role.
5) Lead Teacher.
A list of teacher leader role made by E.T. Development (n.d.) for
districts guidance in adopting teacher leader includes Lead Teacher in
the list. The role of Lead Teacher is distinguished as someone who
helps new teacher, leads teacher team and co-taught class (E.T.
Development, n.d.). This role is almost the same as Mentor/Coach
except a Lead Teacher is in charge of teams.
6) Advocate for Change.
A teacher leader who advocates for change will always be committed
in seeking what’s the best that can be done and analyze student
learning through asking questions (ASCD, 2007). This role
encompasses the 5th, 6th and 7th Domain in Teacher Leader Model
Standards indeed.
