EPL-APCLC Research Seminar on Teacher Leadership Development and Principal Facilitation Dr Annie Cheng and Dr Elson Szeto, fellows of APCLC, conducted a Research Seminar on ‘Teacher Leadership Development and Principal Facilitation: Novice Teachers' Perspectives’ for EdUHK Faculty and students on July 15, 2016. Details of the seminar below:
About the Seminar: This presentation explores novice teachers' perspectives on their teacher leadership roles and their principal's facilitation of their leadership development. A cohort of 20 novice teachers teaching in Hong Kong participated in this study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and documentary evidence during a two-year period. The results show that six novice teachers performed principal-delegated and teacher-initiated teacher leadership roles facilitated by principals' practices., which are essential for the development of teacher leadership. This has important implications for the roles of teachers and principals in fostering teacher leadership in schools. Teacher educators are also informed for enhancement of initial teacher education. |
