Teacher leadership is more important today than ever before because Americans expect more of schools and teachers. Teachers are leading efforts to improve the curriculum and promote partnerships with other school districts and universities as well as with parents. They are serving on policymaking boards and testifying on school issues before state legislatures. They are leaders in setting high academic standards for students and in deciding how to help their students reach these standards. When teachers participate in improving education, the changes are more likely to work.
