Episode 3: Formal and Informal Teacher Leadership - Is the title most important?

Teacher leadership can stem from a designated role like department chairman or it can come about more organically and informally. The two teachers interviewed for this episode work in different settings - one a public school teacher who is more of an informal leader, and the other a private school teacher who is a department chair. Perhaps, it is not completely surprising that their comments suggest there are things more important than the formality of the role to being a good leader and being recognized as such by their colleagues. Both also discuss how their leadership roles have emerged and what their plans might be for the future.
