"The ultimate for those who promote teacher leadership and those who would be teacher leaders." -- Roland S. Barth, Educational Consultant "This seminal text left me nothing short of energized when I first picked it up almost ten years ago. Drawing from their continued experience developing and defining teacher leadership, Katzenmeyer and Moller bring additional transparency to a widely recognized concept that remains poorly understood. Filled with new surveys, tools, and suggestions for today's teacher leader, the newest edition is simply a must-read for anyone driving meaningful change in the classrooms of our country." -- Bill Ferriter, Senior Fellow "Katzenmeyer and Moller usher in a new age of teacher leadership, an age of mutuality in learning and leading, broad-based participation, and shared responsibility. Their work is based on the powerful assumption that all of us-especially teachers-have the right, capacity, and responsibility to lead." -- Linda Lambert, Professor Emeritus
