The typical leadership structure in a school is quite rigid, with administrators and teachers filling their roles separately. In this model, teacher skills are only utilized inside of the classroom, leaving teacher leadership potential on the table.

Many schools have positions such as “Lead Teacher” or “Content Team Leader,” which is a great starting point.
