ABSTRACT

Teacher development, we argued in Chapter 8, is a key problem to be addressed by leaders of future schools. When they are successful in fostering such development they have provided transformational leadership to their schools. In addition to providing a description of what such development might look like, Chapter 8 also offered several guidelines useful to school-leaders in fostering teacher development. One of these guidelines was to help create a more collaborative culture among the teaching staff in the school. We offered little concrete advice in Chapter 8, however, about how school-leaders might do this.
