Training Teacher Leaders in a PLC at Work®

“In this important and immensely practical book, Dr. Jasmine K. Kullar provides a detailed road map for schools and systems that have recognized the need to magnify the power of teacher leadership. While the label of 'teacher leaders' has proliferated for the past two decades, the actual implementation can be inconsistent and haphazard. Critically, Dr. Kullar challenges the traditional methods of selecting teacher leaders, such as seniority and 'taking turns' and other non-systematic methods of selection. Only with a rigorous approach to selection of teacher leaders will schools have the opportunity to apply the formidable evidence that the author has assembled. This book is a treasure trove of tools that administrators, teacher leaders, and aspiring teacher leaders can use to build and refine leadership skills and capacity.”

“As the principal of a large Model PLC at Work school, I train new staff in the PLC principles so they understand why we operate like we do. It’s a big task for one person to complete alone. This book gave me the tools I need to identify and develop capable teacher leaders with whom I can share this very important responsibility!”

“Building leadership capacity in others is a critical skill for principals and school leaders. Training Teacher Leaders in a PLC at Work® offers both a guide and workbook to directly assist. This title is essential if you want to spread ownership in the PLC process and multiply your abilities to positively impact your school and student learning.”

“Jasmine K. Kullar’s book holds the answer for any educator seeking a process for investing in and growing themselves, their people, and their team. It provides purpose and intentionality for teacher leaders to advance the work of the PLC process. Every administrator is secretly wanting all teachers to read this book so they can work together as a high-performing team!”
