Contribution
This paper reports on a 4 year programme of action research undertaken by the author. The project aimed to develop and evaluate a programme of support for teacher leadership in a district of Istanbul. The programme centred on a series of workshops that aimed to develop teachers’ capacity to lead change in their schools to improve their teaching practice, school culture and student outcomes. The project was evaluated and the impact of the project on teachers, school culture, classroom practice and student outcomes as well as the challenges for developing shared leadership cultures in Turkish schools were rigorously documented. This paper argues for the cultivation of teacher leadership in Turkish school as a reform strategy. It first provides an overview of the programme, documents the results of the evaluation process, and identifies the challenges of developing teacher leadership in Turkish schools. The paper also puts forward some suggestions and strategies for developing teacher leadership for school improvement.
