Transformative Principal

Dr. Joshua Barnett is an educational thought leader who has spent his career working to improve the effectiveness of teacher leaders. In an interview, he discussed how teacher leaders can establish trust, develop deep instructional knowledge, and build credibility with their colleagues. He also shared his thoughts on why the teaching profession is challenged with recruitment and turnover and how teacher leaders can be a key solution to helping principals manage the teaching situation. Barnett emphasized the importance of getting it right, rather than being right, and reminded us that localized solutions are often the most effective.Bringing professional learning to effective teacher leaders. Supported over 300,000 educators and 3.5 million studentsHow teacher leadership matters. Engage with and serve as the bridge between the leadership team and the rest of the schoolProvide instructional support - Collaboration with other teachersCoaching other adultsInstructional feedback1.
