Tap Into Teacher Leadership With a Summer Book Group

Summer is here and school is out, but that doesn’t mean learning and development stops during these sizzling months. On the contrary - educators and school leaders are using NIET’s latest book to energize discussions and plan new learning. 

Unleashing Teacher Leadership: A Toolkit For Ensuring Effective Instruction in Every Classroom, is the perfect collaborative summer read for groups of educators to use NIET-developed tools and unleash the power of teacher leadership. The book and free study guide outline strategies educators can apply during the upcoming school year – with plenty of detailed real-life examples and resources.

Want to set up your summer reading group to unleash teacher leadership? Here are a few steps to get started:

1. Get the book and gather your group!
   • You can find Unleashing Teacher Leadership available on Amazon, ASCD, or Barnes & Noble.
2. Set a schedule and place for meetings.
   •  Share a timeline or Google calendar to keep everyone on the same page.
3. Use the reflective questions in the Study Guide or create your own!
   • You can find the Unleashing Teacher Leadership Study Guide here.
4. Keep track of great ideas that you can apply in your schools and districts next year.
5. Consider designating a member of your group to share the summer learning with others when school is back in session.
6. Share a picture of your group!
   • Be sure to tag @NIETTeach so we can unleash teacher leadership together.

We look forward to educator feedback and reflections as we prepare for another year of pursuing excellence in education. Happy reading!
