My leadership style close resembles that of a distributive leadership. I know for a fact that I am not an expert at everything, there are also limitations to what I can realistically do as leader, and knowing those things: I can and should be able to rely on those in my school. Having a core team of school teachers that can lead others, I can expand my sphere of influence. No longer would I have to train teachers continuously either, instead I can rely on those expert teachers that I trained to help new teachers meet my expectations.
That core group of teachers would be the team that helps to elevate morale and keep student expectations high. When a new teacher enters a school, she can be lost in the shuffle of things. Her expectations might not be the same as the rest of the grade level or she may not know the best way to teach that specific group of kids. By providing quality professional development to those teachers, where they can observe and learn from the experienced teachers, they can help to elevate school performance by becoming better teachers themselves. As a leader, I would help create a positive environment where my core team of teachers would help propagate those high expectations by sharing their teaching methods rather than isolating themselves.
As the leader, I will find my core group of teachers to use as positive role models for others and work with them to develop trainings for the student population. By tailoring the trainings of teachers to fit the needs of the student population, teachers will know what is expected of them, how they will contribute, and how they can ask for help. After all, we are all there to help students achieve success.
