Know How? Show How: Experienced Teachers Share Best Practices through Ontario Program
Amato, Lindy; Anthony, Paul; Strachan, Jim
Journal of Staff Development, v35 n2 p46-49 Apr 2014
Launched in 2007, the Teacher Learning and Leadership Program, out of Ontario, Canada, operates on the belief that classroom teachers know their learning needs and the needs of their students best. Additionally, the program assumes teachers have the greatest knowledge of how to build and foster multiple learning networks in order to share their expertise both within and beyond their schools. The Teacher Learning and Leadership Program allows experienced teachers to assume peer leadership roles in curriculum, instructional practice, and supporting other teachers. The three goals of the program are to: (1) Support experienced teachers in undertaking innovative, self-chosen professional learning in areas that are meaningful to them; (2) Foster teacher leadership; and (3) Facilitate the sharing of exemplary practices with others for the broader benefit of Ontario's students. The program and goals are discussed in this article.
