  1. Teacher LeadershipProjectF.I.T. “A Work in Progress” Teresa Castellaw

  2. Teacher Leadership Class Begins As I began reading the book, “Learning By Heart”, I started to examine my role as a teacher leader in my school. I thought this book really spoke to a teacher’s heart. The author really has a grasp on what leadership should look like, sound like, feel like, etc. He does not “sugar coat” what is required of a leader nor does he make excuses for bad leaders. After completing the book, I immediately suggested the book to my principal. She was very open to possibly using it next year for a book study. I think our school could gain a lot from reading it and putting into practice many of his suggestions. I then began deciding on a project that would incorporate all of the areas of a teacher leader and would be beneficial to our school and students. After talking with Dana and Renee, FIT was born. It is in place and has plenty of room to grow. The project will definitely continue into next year and I hope that my ability as a teacher leader will continue to reach new heights. Thank you Scarlet for your leadership in this class. You have inspired me to be more proactive within my school and community. I hope in the future to make you proud!
