Abstract：A well-developed literature base exists and continues to grow on the topic of teacher leadership; however, it remains largely an academic topic and even though inroads have been made, teacher leadership remains more a concept than an actuality. Teachers have always been leaders, but there is little evidence that a focused, collaborative movement exists in public schools designed to promote and support widespread teacher leadership in the profession. We know that sustained, effective school leadership strengthens student achievement especially when coupled with a supportive school climate that encourages collaboration and risk-taking; teachers and principals alike have reciprocal roles in building and sharing leadership. Unless and until the concept of teacher leadership is embraced and developed, "just a teacher" will remain the prevailing habit of mind in the nation's schools.

总结：最近持续增长的教师领导的话题，在很大程度上仍然是一个学术话题，但是现实是教师领导仍停留在概念上。 教师一直是领导者，但很少有证据证明这一点，协同运动存在于公立学校旨在促进和支持广泛的教师领导专业。持续的，有效的学校领导对加强学生的成绩很重要。一个支持性的学校气氛，鼓励合作和冒险，教师和校长都相互在共建共享领导角色。
