Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of teacher leadership through instructional coaching. This study was designed to find the appropriate structures that promote teacher leadership with a specific focus on using a distributed leadership model of school leadership that develops and promotes teacher-led instructional coaching. This will enable school leaders to create a shared vision and outline steps to formally add teacher leadership roles in their school organizations. In addition, it will allow for a more streamlined organizational process, leading to a more effective and efficient leadership.</p> <p>Two school districts outside of Chicago were used to collect data on school leader perceptions of distributed leadership through the use of teacher-led instructional coaching. There was also an examination of how teacher leaders’ understanding of instructional coaching contributes to the growth of teacher practice. The study involved looking at a variety of instructional coaching models that teacher leaders can use, along with what school administrators need to set up a distributed leadership model to promote teacher-led instructional coaching. Policy was formed to assist in the selection of teacher leaders, along with how this selection influences equitable access to leadership opportunities for teachers in school districts. </p>
