As a school principal, I have long held the incontrovertible view that it is the innovative and committed leadership of all stakeholders, teachers in particular, that is required for school improvement. Collectively, the experience, qualification, skills and passion of teacher leaders forms the cornerstone for collegiality, partnership and wide-scale participation in transforming schools into centres of excellence.enTeachers--Professional relationships.Teacher participation in education.Theses--Education.Thesis
