In May 2011, the National Charter School Resource Center and the U.S. Department of Education hosted a full-day conference to explore emerging city-based movements that embrace high-quality charter schools as an integral component of their reform strategies.

This online video workshop from the Panhandle Area Educational Consortium provides context for teacher leadership in schools and underscores the importance of teachers taking on leadership roles that are not necessarily administrative, such as advocacy for quality curriculum and mentoring peers. The workshop, presented by veteran educators, covers characteristics of successful teacher leaders, points out ways to recognize potential leaders, and discusses leadership styles and theories.
