When asked about what I understand about leadership, I started drawing on the different styles of being a leader; authoritarian, lassez-faire etc and the need for different styles in different contexts. How is this relevant to the role of a Teacher Librarian (TL)? Although I know there is a need for hierarchy of leadership within a school, I do believe there also exists in some schools old habits/traditions where TL’s may not be treated or seen to be leaders.
This could be just a view from personal experience and I look forward to learning the skills to educate the importance of shared leadership and the value a TL can have as part of a leadership team.
