What are teacher leaderships? What characters should they have? How can a school reform? After reading the books, I found that it was impossible for schools to be reformed if the principals and teachers do not want to change. External factors are not so important as internal factors. The time of teachers' leadership has come. IF a school want to change, they need to cultivate teachers as leaders. There are several roles of the teacher leaders: concentrate on classroom, school; they can be involved in group or team interactions; they are highly formalized and they can influence their peer and respected by them. They are successful in their classroom; they have competent skills; they can empower other teachers; they can contribute democratic communities. It was interesting that the teacher asked us to do our own poster and to express it out. In our group, we acted it out in the opposite way. There was a "bad" leader, who never gave others useful suggestions or helped others. The leader was stiff, without patience. We had a lot of fun.
