Becoming a Teacher: How to Recognize the Self as a Leader Is a Classroom

Abstract

The notion of ‘teacher leader in a classroom’ recently has been shifted. In the past, teacher leadership in a classroom was limited to didactics and expertise. Teachers have long served as ‘executors’, ‘executants’, not ‘leaders’ who are capable to manage the change and co-creation of knowledge within the interaction with students in a classroom. The aim of the study is to provide the descriptive analysis on contemporary research-based development regarding teacher leadership with the focus on concepts such as ‘becoming a teacher’, ‘professionalism of a teacher’, ‘co-creation’ and ‘teacher leadership’. Methods. The study is based on descriptive theoretical analysis. Conclusion. Becoming a teacher is the continuous process and means accepting the chal-lenge of imparting knowledge and guidance and approaching a high degree of ambivalence as it requires great diligence on the part of the teacher to be able to carry out her / his pro-fessional responsibilities. Co-creation is inseparable part of both - becoming a teacher and being a teacher leader as it helps to support the positive teaching-learning relationships and create the effective learning environments. Teacher leadership in a classroom is impossible to implement without self- recognition, which means in teaching practices teacher’s self-awareness.

The Depiction of Servant Teacher Leadership Attributes in Mass Media: A Characterization Analysis of the Protagonist in Rita TV Series

“…Furthermore, we assert that Rita's capacity to evaluate her motivation to become a teacher contributes to her leadership abilities. This self-awareness, which is the understanding of one's own personality and the ability to appropriately judge one's own behaviour (Zydziunaite et al, 2020), has been deemed to be crucial to the development of STL (Lopez, 2017). Regarding Rita's persuasive communication skills as a STL, we can conclude that this quality contributes to the improvement of her school's climate.…”

Teaching Workload and Burnout Experiences among the Elementary School Teachers of Talakag-I District

“…According to Zydziunaite et al (2020), workload, time allotted for instruction, and teacher selfesteem in the classroom and at school are mostly examined in connection to the efficacy or quality of instruction in educational research. Less than half-day workloads are statistically significantly associated with lower levels of activity at school and lower levels of stress.…”

Formación permanente del profesorado a través de un seminario internivelar: aprender mediante investigación-acción sobre evaluación formativa y compartida

“…Sólo un pequeño porcentaje de docentes dijeron que tuvieron menos carga de trabajo puesto que no pudieron realizar sistemas de EFyC por la temprana edad de sus alumnos y la imposibilidad de emplear una enseñanza telemática en las etapas educativas más tempranas; en este sentido, en otras experiencias se ha comprobado que el confinamiento afectó a la relación docente-alumnado y ha incrementado las desigualdades por la falta de recursos (Fidalgo, 2021;Fuentes & Álvarez, 2021). No obstante, en cuanto a la carga de trabajo docente no se han encontrado apenas estudios, quizá el motivo sea el que señalan Zydziunaite et al (2020) sobre que la carga de trabajo de los docentes, la distribución del tiempo de enseñanza o la autoestima de los docentes no son temas de estudio de investigación como desafíos o factores que influyen en su práctica.…”
