Abstract：Using case studies of four schools in three districts, this article explores how leadership is distributed in districts and asks about the role of teacher leaders. It proposes that teacher leaders and districts can share three leadership tasks: procuring and distributing materials, monitoring improvement, and developing people. The district and teacher leaders play complementary roles. How effective teacher leaders are at people development will depend on the time they have, the knowledge they have, and their monitoring responsibility. These conditions depend partly on administrative support, indicating districts may have more opportunity to influence teaching practice than past research had indicated.

总结：

1、采用四所学校在三区的案例研究，本文探讨了领导分布在各区的情况，并要求有关教师领导者的角色。它建议老师领导，可以共享三代领导任务：采购和发放材料的方式，提高监管和发展的人。区和教师领导发挥互补作用。

2、有效的教师领导是发生在人的发展依赖于他们的时候，他们有知识，他们负责监管。这些情况一定程度上取决于行政支持，这比过去的研究更加表明地区可能有更多的机会影响教学实践。
