GREAT TEACHERS ARE GREAT LEADERS………..

“Leaders become great not because of their power but, because of their ability to empower others “  -   John Maxwell

Leadership is the ability to develop a vision that motivates others to move with a passion toward a common goal. A leader tends to have a huge influence on the thoughts and motivation of people. He/she has the capacity to develop confidence in the followers and lead them to achieve the organisational goal. Teacher leadership is the vital element of any successful educational institution. “A teacher leader is any teacher who teaches well and assumes additional responsibilities to improve the overall learning experience at school”-

Teacher leadership is the process by which teachers, individually or collectively, influence their colleagues and other members of the school communities to improve teaching and learning practices with the aim of increased student learning and achievement. Such team leadership work involves three develolopmental areas: - individual development, collaboration or team development, and organizational development. Teacher leaders are facilitators within the school and can be an important element in spreading and strengthening school reform and improvement. Tasks performed by teacher leaders include monitoring improvement efforts, selecting curriculum, and participating in administrative meetings. In addition, they often are called upon to participate in peer coaching, engage parent and community participation, and review research in their time away from the classroom. Typically, these leaders are teachers who have significant teaching experience, are known to be excellent educators, and are respected by their peers. They are learning and achievement oriented and willing to take risks and assume responsibility. These teachers use a variety of informal and formal channels to exert leadership, including acting as department heads, mentors etc..

ROLE OF TEACHER LEADERS

Teacher leaders serve in two fundamental types of roles: formal and informal. 

Formal teacher leaders 

Plays roles as department Heads or instructional coach etc. These individuals typically apply for their positions and are chosen through a selection process.  Formal teacher leaders play vital roles in most schools. In many cases, these teacher leaders manage curriculum projects, facilitate teacher study groups, provide workshops, and order materials. They may also evaluate other teachers.

Informal teacher leaders

 Instead of being selected, they take the initiative to address a problem or institute a new program. They have no positional authority; their influence stems from the respect they command from their colleagues through their expertise and practice.

  Other roles of teacher leaders are:-

1.      Within the Department or Team

Leadership at this level can take many forms.  Or they may invite their colleagues to examine the reasons for student underperformance. In many different ways, teacher leaders mobilize the efforts of their closest colleagues to enhance the school's program for the benefit of students.

2.      Across the School

Some of the most powerful opportunities for teacher leadership relate to areas that have enormous influence on the daily lives of students across the school, such as the master schedule, grading policy, or student programs. For example, many students experience the most memorable activities of their school careers through participating in the school play, being on the debate team, or taking an advanced class that enables them to engage deeply with academic content. Ensuring that students have full access to such opportunities involves a collective effort, requiring discussion and consideration of alternatives. This is the work of leadership.

3.      Beyond the School

Teacher leaders contribute beyond their own school when they participate in a district wide teacher evaluation committee or curriculum team, make a presentation at a district, state or national conference, or speak at a school board meeting as the voice of teachers in the community. Again, these teachers are doing more than teaching their own students; they are influencing the larger education environment in their communities.

Whether they are selected for a formal leadership role or spontaneously assume an informal role, effective teacher leaders exhibit important skills, values, and dispositions. Teacher leaders call others to action and energize them with the aim of improving teaching and learning.  It is individual commitment, but above all it is collective mobilization.1 A hallmark of leadership, therefore, is the ability to collaborate with others. Teacher leaders must enlist colleagues to support their vision,  convince others of the importance of what they are proposing and the feasibility of their general plan for improvement. They must be respected for their own instructional skills.

QUALITIES OR SKILL OF TEACHER LEADER

A number of values and dispositions make certain individuals ideally suited for teacher leadership. Effective teacher leaders are open-minded and respectful of others' views. They display optimism and enthusiasm, confidence and decisiveness. They persevere and do not permit setbacks to derail an important initiative they are pursuing. On the other hand, they are flexible and willing to try a different approach if the first effort runs into roadblocks.

Many attributes of good teacher leaders are fundamentally the same as the attributes of good teachers:

 Open-mindedness, flexibility, confidence, and expertise in their fields. Despite these similarities, however, working with colleagues is profoundly different from working with students, and the skills that teachers learn in their preparation programs do not necessarily prepare them to extend their leadership beyond their own classrooms. To assume a leadership role, they may need expertise in curriculum planning, assessment design, data analysis, and the like. They may also need to develop the abilities to listen actively, facilitate meetings, keep a group discussion on track, decide on a course of action, and monitor progress. These skills are not typically taught in teacher preparation programs. Teacher leaders are not just thinking about themselves, but how their efforts will produce successes for all of those who are a part of their profession. A leader cannot have all traits at one time. But a few of them helps in achieving effective results.

• Being approachable - The teacher leader should be patient and non-threatening when asked for guidance.
  
  
• Positive personality - You feel comfortable working with teacher leader   because he is always reassuring.
• Vision and foresight- A leader cannot maintain influence unless he exhibits that he is forward looking. He has to visualize situations and thereby has to frame logical programmes.
• Excellent communication skills - This includes listening thoroughly and providing constructive feedback. Innovative teacher leaders often have creative solutions to learning obstacles.
• Curiosity - Leaders are learners. They wonder about every aspect of their charge. They find out what they need to know in order to pursue their goals.
• Risk - Effective leaders take calculated risks when necessary to achieve their objectives. If a mistake is made, the effective leader will learn from the mistake and use it as an opportunity to explore other avenues.
• Dedication - The effective leader is dedicated to his or her charge, and will work assiduously on behalf of those following. The leader gives himself or herself entirely to the task when it is necessary.
• Coaching skills - The teacher leader must serve as a coach to motivate and drive change.
  
  
• Data-analysis and research capabilities - Student performance data and updated research on effective learning should be communicated to all teachers. Data-driven decision making should guide improvement strategies.
• Listening - Leaders Listen! This is the most important attribute of all, listen to your followers.

·       Delegate and Shares – The teacher leader delegate works to engage and create learning experiences, pay attentions to and respect other’s needs, especially those who seems neglected

• A friend, philosopher and guide- A leader must possess the three dimensional traits in him. He can be a friend by sharing the feelings, opinions and desires with the colleagues. He can be a philosopher by utilizing his intelligence and experience and thereby guiding them when time requires. He can be a guide by supervising and communicating with them. At times he can also play the role of a counsellor by counselling and a problem-solving approach. He can listen to the problems and try to solve them.
• Sense of responsibility- Responsibility and accountability towards an individual’s work is very important to bring a sense of influence. A leader must have a sense of responsibility towards organizational goals because only then he can get maximum of capabilities exploited in a real sense. For this, he has to motivate himself and arouse and urge to give best of his abilities. Only then he can motivate the subordinates to the best.
• Self-confidence and will-power- Confidence in himself is important to earn the confidence of the subordinates. He should be trustworthy and should handle the situations with full will power.

Recipe for being a Leader

•       Take control of your life

•       Assume responsibility for who you are

•       Convey a positive and dynamic attitude in everything you do

•       Accept blame: learn from your own mistakes as well as those of others.  Take blame for everything that happens in your unit

•       Give credit wherever it is due

•       Be compassionate when you review your team members' progress or lack thereof

•       Think great thoughts.  Small thinking is why companies go broke

•       Turn disasters into opportunities. Turn every obstacle into a personal triumph

•       Determine your "real" goals then strive to achieve them

•       When you want to tell someone something important, do it personally

•       Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty doing what you ask others to do. 

Democratic age demands democratic leadership in educational institutions. A democratic educational leader should recognize the dignity and worth of the teachers and needs of the pupil. He will provide opportunity to generate leadership skill in teachers as well as students .He offers a lot of opportunity for growth and development.

             The art of Educational Leadership can be acquired through a lot of experience. He should be leader in the true sense of the word; only then he can be success in his post.

Creativity: The essential part of smart Education.......

Creativity: The essential part of Smart Education

“The Principal goal of education is to create individual who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generation have done”

 Creativity is doing something different.Our school systems need to need change better according to the pace of the world. Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “We cannot build the future for our youth—but we can build our youth for the future.” It is our duty to do whatever we can to help our students connect learning with real life and to provide them with the necessary skills to prepare them for success. In past decade, the concept of education was to master the “Three Rs” .But   In the modern “flat world,” the “Three Rs” changed in to “Four Cs”. Today’s students want to compete in this global society; however, they must also be proficient communicators, creators, critical thinkers, and collaborators (the “Four Cs”). Our education system must simultaneously prepare the citizens of tomorrow while equipping our students with the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in a rapidly changing economy and society. The   students should be encouraged to challenge themselves at new levels and in new experiences, as well as to prepare themselves for future choices in their lives and in their communities.

Modern education system must change according to the need of the hour. For that schools and educators should prepare themselves for accepting the new trends in the education field. New education system must focus the new trends such as;

• a.      Creativity
• b.      Character Education
• c.       Critical Thinking
• d.      Collaborative learning
• e.       Constructivism
• f.        Differentiated learning
• g.      Digital education
• h.      Inquiry based learning etc, etc…..

 How creativity lead to smart Education? ...........

An effective education system which is connecting arts and CCA helps students to see what they look at, hear what they listen to, and feel what they touch.

The right mix of creativity along with curriculum helps students to be innovative and also encourages them to learn new things. Every child is born with artistic sensibilities. A student who grows up with an artistic sensibility sees at the world from different perspective. This sensitivity actually moulds his behavior, his interpersonal communication, and his actions.  Artistic sensibilities are to be nourished and encouraged at home, at school and ultimately, the society has to do. Students need to be thinkers, be problem-solvers, demonstrate creativity, and work as a member of a team.

Creativity will help the students to

•    Learn the facts easily
• Memories the concepts
•  Connecting the ideas with learning concepts
• Become problem solver
• Emotional stability
• Increase thinking stability
• Reduce stress
• Better communication etc…..

o   Creativity is a valuable skill.. When we encourage creativity in our students, we’re preparing them to find solutions in their life. So educators actively plan for students and help them to improve their creative skill. Teachers and school leaders continue to see the development of creativity as an essential part of their job. There are many highly creative teachers in our schools and many schools where creative approaches to teaching and learning are encouraged. 

      In short, creativity plays a vital role in 21^st century education. Teachers and schools have to create an environment where creativity is generated. Teachers have to use of 21st century skills in imparting education in visual and performing arts and make classes more lively and dynamic.
