 MODULE 4: Influencing Others Through Teacher Leadership through a Growth Mindset

Hundreds of stories of teacher leaders who have influenced positive changes in their schools surface throughout the corridors of campuses across the world. What do all the stories we have heard have in common? Teacher leaders are able to influence situations in their schools through their modeling of their own effective practice, their collaboration with others, and their involvement in decision making and problem solving. This module will help teacher leaders explore with learning influencing strategies (listening, group skills, and negotiating skills) and consider the question, “How do I lead?” Carol Dweck says that just because some people can do something with little or no training, it doesn’t mean that others can’t do it (and sometimes do it even better) with training. Teacher leaders will get a glimpse into the growth mindset as it relates to teacher leadership.
