Teacher leadership and virtual communities: Unpacking teacher agency and distributed leadership

“…Teachers engaged in virtual communities of practice have been observed collaborating genuinely with peers, establishing shared values, supporting individuals through resource allocation and scaffolding, engaging in joint problem-solving, participating in debates, and facilitating collegial learning (Andrade et al, 2022;Bolisani et al, 2020;Delgado et al, 2021;Ghamrawi, 2022;Kalir, 2022;Yuan et al, 2022). These roles undertaken by teachers in vCoPs appear to align with the roles commonly associated with teacher leaders in the existing literature (Ghamrawi, 2010(Ghamrawi, , 2011(Ghamrawi, , 2013aHarrison & Killion, 2007;Nguyen et al, 2020).…”

“…Many of the teacher leadership roles identified by Ghamrawi (2013b) are also ascribed to active teachers in virtual communities of practice (vCoPs). Teachers engaged in vCoPs are recognized for their authentic collaboration with peers, shared values, support for others through guidance and resource allocation, collaborative problem-solving, engagement in constructive debates, and the cultivation of a collegial learning environment (Andrade et al, 2022;Bolisani et al, 2020;Delgado et al, 2021;Ghamrawi, 2022;Kalir, 2022;Yuan et al, 2022).…”
