 * Teacher Leadership Program**  College of Education   Alabama State University

The Teacher Leadership program creates teachers who will become change agents that positively affect their classrooms, their schools, their communities, and their school districts as well as the national conversation about educational change. Specifically, the program is for teachers who will remain in their classrooms while assuming leadership roles in the schools and in the larger context of the school community. The program is developed around a set of academic and field experiences that provide knowledge and skills for leadership in collaboration, writing for change, reflective thinking, problem solving, and the advocacy of excellence in education. The Teacher Leadership program is designed for teachers who desire to develop their leadership skills and who wish to remain in the classroom. The program approaches leadership from the perspectives of exemplary teaching, continuous learning for all, a need to balance change with stability and the importance of peaceful existence in a diverse community of learners. To that end, teachers will enhance their abilities to lead not only in their classrooms, but also in the school at large by working with curriculum, becoming mentor/master teachers, developing new programs, and through a variety of other activities that improve schooling for all children. The Teacher Leadership program is a specialists (Ed.S.) degree program designed exclusively for K-12 practicing educators that targets improving the learning of students and teachers. The Teacher Leadership program engages teachers in actions leading toward school improvement as teachers learn new strategies, implement them in their classroom with guided assistance, collect evidence of student learning, and then reflect on and adjust their teaching practices. Through systematic inquiry into teaching, the program aims to enhance student achievement and cultivate the tools of lifelong learning that support teacher leadership for school improvement. Teacher Leadership is designed to meet the needs of elementary, middle, and high school teachers and to advance their career and serve as leaders of school improvement.
