CRPE’s research detailed six types of unconventional teacher roles:
- Lead teacher. This educator acts as a mentor, curriculum developer and co-teacher for a small team of teachers from the same content area or grade level.
- Empowered teacher. The role this person plays includes setting school-level structures and policies, like student learning targets and dress codes, and contributes to the school’s annual priority plans.
- Team teacher. This educator is part of an integrated team consisting of two to four other teachers per 50-80 students.
