How can hybrid teachers develop their educational leadership while they are supporting students, collaborating with colleagues, negotiating employment contracts, etc.?\r\n\r\nParticipant recommendations will evolve into an opt-in article for publication.","Description":"In order for K-12 teachers to be more effective, we need opportunities to  study the intersection of curriculum, instruction, assessment and policy.  For example, as federal agencies call for more teacher research, and states design high-stakes standardized assessments of student growth, teachers need to be more involved with what goes in in schools and districts. One of the challenges we face is that many teachers already work 50 hours a week; where do we find the time we need to lead?  Data from the 2013 Measures of Effective Teaching study also shows that teachers also seek opportunities to lead without leaving the classroom.\r\n\r\nParticipants will review aspects of the national discussion on hybrid teachers, discuss sample case studies, and design local models for the effective hybrid teacher.","Link":["http:\/\/bit.ly\/1e1e8wR"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"A conceptual \"map\" of the hybrid teacher research will be provided through a brief introduction. Participants will be asked to identify their own inquiry with regard to 1) the roles of hybrid teachers and\/or 2) the policies that will support hybrid teachers and\/or 3) the mechanisms needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the hybrid teacher role. Small discussion groups will integrate their experiences with the provided literature to develop informal recommendations.","Presenter":["Gamal Sherif","Bruce Taterka"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Science Leadership Academy"],"PresenterEmail":["gsherif@ProgressEd.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":35,"ScheduleLocationID":7,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":3}}
