Teacher leadership and autonomous student learning: Adjusting to the new realities

Assessing the Impact of Using Photographic Images to Influence Building Retrofit Design Education

“…This lack of training requires students to gather information on their own during the activity so that they may generate plausible building designs when the class session is over. The concept of self-education has both supporters and detractors in the educational research realm who identify both advantages and disadvantages with this type of learning (Katyal and Evers, 2005;Brydges et al, 2010). Self-education can offer benefits to students by forcing them to learn how to learn, which can help develop skills necessary for lifelong learning (Brydges et al, 2010).…”

The effect of teacher leader interactions with teachers on student achievement: a predictive study.

“…However, the researchers reviewed in this section did not define the focus of teacher leadership in the same way. Cheng (1994) and Katyal and Evers (2005) viewed teacher influence on students as the focal point of all teacher 51 leadership. Classroom management style related significantly to student affective outcomes (Cheng), thus teachers who were successful classroom leaders relied upon expert and personal power rather than positional power to create an effective classroom environment.…”

“…However, some researchers found that teachers' influence on students was the focus of teacher leadership (Cheng, 1994;Katyal & Evers, 2005). Outside influence on other teachers and school decisions were usually offset by additional work load, less personal time, and loss of undivided attention to the individual teacher leader's students.…”

“…Outside influence on other teachers and school decisions were usually offset by additional work load, less personal time, and loss of undivided attention to the individual teacher leader's students. Regardless, classroom teacher leaders viewed work with other colleagues outside the classroom as important for the growth of their students and their school (Cruz, 2003;Katyal & Evers;Middlebrooks, 2004, Ovando, 1996Silva, Gimbert, & Nolan, 2000).…”

“…The literature regarding teacher leadership traces the evolution of this role through that of the classroom teacher participating in school-based decision making to a full-or part-time managerial position, i.e., department heads, quasiadministrative positions outside the classroom, classroom teacher, and finally to participation in distributed leadership functions (Silva, Gimbert, & Nolan, 2000;Katyal & Evers, 2005).…”
