Leadership and Professional Development in Science Education: New Possibilities for Enhancing Teacher Learning

This book brings together international teams of eminent science educators to describe and explain some of the many and complex ways that science teacher leadership is connected to teacher learning. Research-based practical and theoretical exemplars will reflect the state of the art of science teacher leadership through a range of international contexts in the UK, USA, Australia, South Africa, the Netherlands and Belgium. The book is organised around three major initiation points for leadership: personal initiatives for teacher learning, collegial initiatives for teacher learning, and systematic initiatives for teacher learning.
